Question
Chapter 22.6, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
Microbial association with several mammalian species led to the ability of catabolization of cellulose fiber. It is the structural element of the plant cell wall. Insoluble polysaccharides constitute the fiber content of plant materials and the most abundant polysaccharide is cellulose. This polysaccharide serves as the carbon and energy source for animals.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas.
