The amino acid sequence of 31 NH2-terminal residues of a 7*-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-containing protein from rat femur cortical bone was determined by the manual Edman degradation method. The phenylthiohydantoin derivative of Gla was directly identified by high performance liquid chromatography. The 31 amino acid sequence was as follows:
