The primary structure of the nonspecific lipid transfer protein (sterol carrier protein 2) from bovine liver.

The primary structure of the nonspecific lipid transfer protein (sterol carrier protein 2) from bovine liver has been determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 121 amino acid residues with serine as the amino-terminal and alanine as the carboxy-terminal residue. The protein contains one single cysteine and tryptophan residue and lacks tyrosine, histidine and arginine.
