L. Berglund et al., STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BOVINE CD36 FROM THE MILK-FAT GLOBULE-MEMBRANE, Biochimica et biophysica acta, N. Gene structure and expression, 1309(1-2), 1996, pp. 63-68
Bovine CD36 from milk fat globule membranes was characterized and a fu
ll-length CD36 cDNA of 2772 nucleotides was isolated from a bovine mam
mary gland cDNA library. The deduced protein sequence contains 472 ami
no acid residues with 82-84% identity to the amino acid sequences of C
D36 from other species. Peptides corresponding to 43% of the protein w
ere sequenced. All eight potential N-glycosylation sites were glycosyl
ated and the carbohydrate compositions of the individual sites were de
termined.
