Abstract A glycopeptide was isolated from normal human urine by fractionation on a column of Sephadex G-10 and preparative ion-exchange chromatography. Elution behavior during ion-exchange chromatography in two different solvent systems, amino acids formed upon hydrolysis, and migration on high-voltage electrophoresis and thin-layer chromatography were essentially identical for this substance and for authentic 2-acetamido-l-β-(L-β-aspartamido)-1,2-dideoxy-D-glucose. A technique was developed to permit analytical-scale fractionation of individual urines followed by analysis for this glycopeptide; urine from two normal individuals contained 7 and 11 µmol of 2-acetamido-1-β-(L-β-aspartamido)-1,2-dideoxy-D-glucose per liter.

ABSTRACT The chemical nature of the immunoreactive LH-RH-like peptide found in human urine has been investigated using ion-exchange chromatography on carboxymethyl (CM)-cellulose and a radioimmunoassay for LH-RH. A single immunoreactive substance was found in urine after LH-RH administration and in urine samples from untreated subjects. This substance did not have the mobility of either the synthetic decapeptide nor the 3–10 octapeptide on CM-cellulose and the evidence suggests that it may be the 2–10 nonapeptide of LH-RH.

The present study was designed to re-evaluate the radioimmunoassay for desmosine in urine, which is currently used as a measure of elastin metabolism. Using ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration and affinity chromatography it was shown that at least five other compounds in hydrolysates of human urine competed for desmosine in the RIA. Fractionating the urine prior to hydrolysis with acetone removed one of the major contaminants. The other contaminants could subsequently be removed by extracting the urine hydrolysate with a mixture of chloroform/ethanol (60:40). Samples from nine normal adult urines showed that an average of 45% of the RIA competing material in unfractionated urine was not desmosine. The final extracted residue retained all of the desmosine and only 16% of the original solids. The average adult urine contains approximately 50 pmol desmosine/mg creatinine, reflecting a daily turnover of between 3 and 4 mg of elastin per day.
