Abstract
WE have recently shown1 that if rabbit muscle is extracted with a solution of high ionic strength (potassium chlorido > 0.5), the electrophoretic test (Tiselius–Longsworth, see ref. 2) shows, besides the proteins already described3–7, a new component that we have called ‘Y-protein’. At ionic strength 0.40 and pH 7.4, it moves more slowly than β-myosin.
