Normal human serum actually contains two chromatographically distinct forms of ceruloplasmin. A calcium phosphate column cleanly separates major (I) and minor (II) components, the latter being approximately 15% of the total ceruloplasmin present in the serum (109—111). Ryden (112, 113) has shown that the two forms though identical in amino acid composition and Cu binding capacity, differ in the degree to which carbohydrate components have been affixed to the protein during biosynthesis. Most of the presently accepted physical properties of human ceruloplasmin are presented in Table 2.
