A glycopeptide was isolated from cerumen and was assayed by determining the carbohydrate content of material which remained after proteolysis. The component consisted of hexose, peptide, galactosamine, sialic acid, sulfate and glucosamine ; hexose and peptide were main components. The separation posessed galactose and glucose as major hexose components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
