Articular cartilage extracts were prepared to characterize protein fractions with in vivo
chondrogenic activity (Chang, S., Hoang, B., Thomas, JT, Vukicevic, S., Luyten, FP, Ryba,
NJP, Kozak, CA, Reddi, AH, and Moos, M.(1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 28227-28234). Trypsin
digestion of highly purified chondrogenic protein fractions allowed the identification of
several unique peptides by amino acid sequencing. We discovered a novel cDNA encoding
a deduced 36-kDa protein by using degenerate oligonucleotide primers derived from a 30 …
