Abstract
The protein binding Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin II (STII) was isolated from cell membranes of mouse intestine. The binding of 125I-labeled STII to the proteins was inhibited by unlabeled STII, showing that it is specific. Proteins cross-linked with 125I-STII were purified by column chromatography on hydroxyapatite and TSK gel. Analyses of the purified protein by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophorosis and gel filtration showed that the molecular mass was 25 kDa.
