Abstract
Up to 80% of the calcium‐binding protein BM‐40 could be extracted from a tumor basement membrane with a physiological buffer containing 10 mM EDTA. About half of its amino acid sequence was determined by Edman degradation demonstrating identity with cDNA deduced sequences of bone osteonectin and SPARC.
