1. A fluorescent high-molecular weight lipid–protein aggregate was isolated from the cytosol of chick intestinal mucosa or liver by gel filtration on columns of Sepharose 4B or 6B.

2. This aggregate exhibited carotene-cleavage activity.

3. On incubation of this aggregate, dissociation occurred and low-molecular weight fractions containing Cu and Zn and exhibiting carotene-cleavage activity were found. This fraction appeared on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide electrophoresis to have a molecular weight of 7000–11000 and resembled the previously described Cu chelatins in amino acid composition.

4. Carotene cleavage may be effected by a copper–zinc metalloprotein of low-molecular weight, associated in intestinal cytosol with a lipid–protein aggregate.
