Isolation and amino terminal sequence of beta-trace, a novel protein from human cerebrospinal fluid.

Department of Neurology, New York University Medical Center, NY 10016.

beta-Trace, a 23.5 kDa glycoprotein of unknown biological functions, is present in all body fluids tested. It is found in higher concentration in human seminal fluid and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) than in serum. A one-step procedure for the isolation of beta-trace from pooled CSF is described, by affinity chromatography using a specific antibody made against beta-trace. Amino terminal sequence analysis yields the sequence A P E A Q V S V Q P N F Q Q D K F L G with no homology to known proteins, indicating that beta-trace is a novel CSF protein.
