Bile glycoproteins from several species

Abstract

In the bile glycoproteins of the abovementioned species the following hexoses and hexosamines were generally found: D-galactose, D-mannose, and L-fucose, D-glucosamine and D-galactosamine, but their concentrations differend remarkably. The common amino acids were found; the amounts of aspartic and glutamic acids, leucine, glycine and valine were predominant.

The carbohydrates and amino acids composition of cow bile glycoprotein is detailed.
