Properties of the human transcortin variety related to pregnancy were studied. The transcortin variety has been found in retroplacental blood serum and differed from the glycoprotein of healthy donors by the structure of carbohydrate moiety. Physico-chemical and immunochemical properties of the transcortin variety studied, specific mainly to its polypeptide component, were similar to the properties of transcortin from blood of healthy donors.
