Although parvalbumins are generally viewed as intracellular Ca 2+ buffers/transporters, avian species express two thymus-specific isoforms that may play alternative biological roles. These proteins, known as avian thymic hormone (ATH) and chicken parvalbumin 3 (CPV3), are conjectured to influence thymopoiesis. In this paper, we compare their intrathymic distributions. Isoform-specific monoclonal...
CPV3, the third parvalbumin isoform to be identified in the chicken, is produced exclusively in the thymus gland. Although parvalbumins are typically cysteine-deficient, CPV3 contains two cysteine residues, at positions 18 and 72. The reported three-dimensional parvalbumin structures suggest that the side chain of cysteine-72 should be solvent-accessible. Accordingly, we find that CPV3 readily forms...
