  • Title: Epithelial basement membrane of bovine renal tubuli. Isolation and analysis of the carbohydrate chains.
    Author: Ferwerda W, van Dijk W.
    Journal: Hoppe Seylers Z Physiol Chem; 1975 Nov; 356(11):1671-8. PubMed ID: 173641.
    Abstract:
    The carbohydrate chains present in the tubular basement membrane of bovine kidney were studied. Digestion with collagenase followed with pronase resulted in a complete solubilization of the basement membrane. The different glycopeptides were purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Two kinds of carbohydrate chains could be characterized: oligosaccharides composed of glucosamine, mannose, galactose, fucose and sialic acid, and glucosylgalactose disaccharides. A very small portion of the oligosaccharide chains (ca. 4%) appeared to be free of sialic acid. The bulk of these chains contained sialic acid and fucose, although in small amounts. Only traces of galactosamine were found.
