The observed amino acid sequence of medin in material purified from aortic medial amyloid of two individuals (male, 85 years old, and female, 75 years old). The medin sequence is identical to lactadherin; positions 245–294. Minor peptides (∗) started at positions 241 and 250 of lactadherin. N-terminal amino acid sequences obtained from the purified proteins are indicated with a dashed line, and sequences obtained after cleavage with BNPS-skatole are indicated with a solid line.
