Ferreascidin: A highly aromatic protein containing 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine from the blood cells of a stolidobranch ascidian [PDF]
, 1987 A method of isolation and purification was developed for the major protein from the blood cells of the stolidobranch ascidian Pyura stolonifera. The protein, called ferreascidin because of its strong iron binding capacity (two Fe3+ per molecule), is the ...
