Application

Conalbumin from chicken egg white has been used: as ovotransferrin standard in 96?well microplate assay to investigate on ovotransferrin-like activity in the plasma of wild birdsto examine its effects on osteoclastogenesisto study its partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems

Biochem/physiol Actions

Conalbumin/ovotransferrin plays a key role in avian natural immunity. It has the ability to preventbacterial growth and possesses immunomodulatory functions. Ovotransferrin also exhibits antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

General description

Conalbumin is an iron-binding protein. It is mainly presentin the egg whiteof hen. It is also termed as ovotransferrin. It is a member of the transferrin iron-binding glycoproteins family. Ovotransferrin is also known an an acute?phase protein (APP)in some organisms. It is the second main protein found in egg white.
