The amino acid citrulline is not generally found as a component of protein. However, Steinert, Harding and Rogers [1, 2] have identified citrulline as a constituent of proteins from the inner root sheath of hair follicles, and of proteins from cells of the medulla of hair fibers and porcupine quills. Rogers [1, 2] has isolated the Lcitrulline component and identified it by IR spectroscopy, paper chromatography and oxidation with Gamin0 acid oxidase. He has also shown that citrulline can be released from the protein by digestion with subtilisin, and has identified citrulline-containing peptides. In our work, citrulline was first found in acid hydrolysates of a protein fraction isolated from normal human myelin. This was confumed by a direct calorimetric determination of citrulline in the nonhydrolysed protein. Pronase digestion of this protein material showed that citrulline was released from the protein. The released citrulline was separated on a Sephadex Gl 5 column and identified colorimetritally.
