Target Information

Chicken ovalbumin is the major protein in the white of the egg and a favorite antigen in immunological research. Egg white contains a variety of proteins including ovalbumin, conalbumin, ovomucoid, and lysozyme. It belongs to the serpin family and the Ov serpin subfamily. Ovalbumin can cause allergic reactions in humans and has been implicated in the development of the eggshell. Immunohistochemistry revealed that ovalbumin is found only in the mammillary bodies of decalcified shell, and is not distributed throughout the shell matrix. These results indicate that ovalbumin is present during the initial phase of shell formation and becomes incorporated into the protein matrix of the mammillary bodies. However, it is not yet clear whether ovalbumin at this site plays a specific role in shell mineralization.
