Characterization of glycoprotein obtained from the skin mucus of an Antarctic fish, Trematomus bernacchii
The epithelial secretions were collected by scraping the skin of Trematomus bernacchii and seven species of temperate-water fishes and examined for the mucous glycoproteins by gel filtration on a Sepharose CL-4B column. In most cases, the glycoproteins were excluded at the void volume and separated...
