SUMMARY: A highly purified preparation of mouse B,-microglobulin has been obtained from sodium thiocyanate extracts of liver cell membranes of A/J strain mice and the amino acid sequence has been partially determined. The first 40 residues have been assigned except for position 34. In the sequence, the mouse protein differs only at 9 positions from human f+-microglobulin at 8 positions from the dog homologue and at 11 positions from the rabbit homologue. The sequence has also a homology to the constant regions of mouse yG most closely to the C 3 region. These data support the conclusion that t i i'mouse protein is indee L! the mouse homologue of human Bz-microglobulin. Human e2-microglobulin and is
