First sentence: The first characterisation of the acidic nature of the water soluble protein in the bovine adrenomedullary granules was made by Hillarp in 1959 and in the following decade the main component was purified and characterised by its uniquely acidic amino acid composition (Helle 1966a, Smith and Kirshner 1967, Smith and Winkler 1967) and also detected in the splenic nerve of the ox (Banks et al 1969) and sheep (Geffen et al 1969a).
