A glycoprotein of Mr 36 000 has been isolated from lung lavage of normal rabbit and purified to homogeneity by gel chromatography. Three peptides containing hydroxyproline and nearly 30% glycine have been isolated and purified from pepsin-digested native glycoprotein. Partial NH2-terminal amino acid sequence analysis on one of the peptides indicated the presence of -Gly-Pro-Hyp-Gly- sequence in the peptide chain, suggesting that collagen-like region(s) may be present in this glycoprotein.
