Department of Animal Biochemistry, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland.

Cobalamin-binding protein has been purified from chicken egg yolk by using DEAE-cellulose with a NaCl gradient. The resultant protein fraction was subjected to bioaffinity chromatography. The Mr was 38,000 by SDS-PAGE and 39,000 by gel filtration, and indicated that it was a glycoprotein. The Stokes radius was 4.3 nm and the pI 4.1. The protein bound 57CO.B12 with a molar ratio of 1:1 and a Kd of 0.41 microM. The CBP composed 296 amino acids residues. The protein-ligand interaction was inhibited by Cbl analogues.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002642	Chick Embryo	The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching.	Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D002846	Chromatography, Affinity	A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry.

D014155	Transcobalamins	A group of carrier proteins which bind with VITAMIN B12 in the BLOOD and aid in its transport. Transcobalamin I migrates electrophoretically as a beta-globulin, while transcobalamins II and III migrate as alpha-globulins.
