The milk fat globule membrane-associated proteins adipophilin (alias adipocyte differentiation-related protein) and butyrophilin were purified from bovine milk by reverse-phase chromatography. The nucleotide sequence of bovine adipophilin was obtained via peptide mapping and sequencing of a mammary gland cDNA clone, which comprises 1841 nucleotides and has an open reading frame of 450 amino acids. By peptide mapping, 19% of the amino acid sequence was confirmed. The obtained amino acid sequence has 87 and 80% identical residues with human and mouse adipophilin, respectively. Alignment with the proteins perilipin and TIP47 revealed two highly conserved segments, which may assemble into amphipathic
-helices.
Key Words: adipophilin adipocyte differentiation-related protein butyrophilin
