Synthesis of transcobalamin II by cultured human hepatocytes

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1985 Mar 8;838(3):387-9. doi: 10.1016/0304-4165(85)90239-9.

Abstract

Cultured HepG2 cells, derived from a human hepatoma synthesized and released unsaturated, immunoreactive transcobalamin II. Synthesis was confirmed by the blocking with inhibitors of protein synthesis and by incorporation of tritiated leucine into transcobalamin II.
