Structure of secretory protein IV from rat seminal vesicles.
Pan YC, Li SS.
The complete amino acid sequence of rat SVS-IV protein, consisting of 90 residues, has been determined. The sequence of rat SVS-IV protein is the first seminal vesicle secretory protein determined and it does not show any homology with other known protein sequences. The secondary structure of SVS-IV protein is analyzed by methods of Fasman and Chou indicates that this protein contains 53% alpha-helix, 36% beta-turn and 11% random coil.
