Popis: The complete amino acid sequence has been determined of a unique protein from a 55-years-old female with multiple myeloma associated with Fanconi syndrome. It existed in a monomer form with an apparent molecular weight of 10K daltons, and was consisted of 106 amino acid residues. The sequence was characteristic of the V-region of lambda light chains and was highly homologous with that of the first 106 residues of V lambda III subgroup. The presence of an intact light chain as well as a 13K daltons fragment, corresponding to the entire C-region, strongly suggests that the unique component is a catabolic product from the intact light chain rather than an aberrant product of synthesis.
