ovalbumin

In cases where poisoning by heavy metals (such as Iron) is suspected, ovalbumin may be administered.

Ovalbumin contains phosphorus in addition to these elements.

The function of ovalbumin is unknown, although it is presumed to be a storage protein.

Two amino acid storage proteins in animals are casein and ovalbumin.

Egg albumin is also called ovalbumin.

Also, ovalbumin is frequently contaminated with endotoxins.

It comprises approximately 13% of albumen (in contrast to ovalbumin, which comprises 54%).

Unlike the signal sequences of most secreted proteins, Ovalbumin's signal sequence is not cleaved.

Other types include the storage protein ovalbumin in egg white, and different storage albumins in the seeds of some plants.

The COUP acronym stands for chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter.

The structure of the non-inhibitory serpin ovalbumin, and the inhibitory serpin antitrypsin, revealed the archetype native serpin fold.

(For in vivo and in vitro studies based on ovalbumin it is important that the endotoxin content is less than 1 EU/mg.)

It is a member of the clade B serpins or ov-serpins (ovalbumin related serpins) founded by ovalbumin.

Arthritis was initiated in both hind knees of rabbits 3 weeks later by the intra-articular injection of 5 mg ovalbumin dissolved in 0.5 ml Gey's saline.

In one study, protein-deficient rats that had not previously experienced protein deficiency demonstrated strong preferences for high-protein foods such as soybean, gluten, and ovalbumin within thirty minutes of food presentation.

The chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor (COUP-TFs) proteins are members of the nuclear receptor family of intracellular transcription factors.

Prior to 1984, partially purified proteins such as bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin, or gelatin from various species had been used as blocking reagents but had the disadvantage of being expensive.

The key to the formation of a good meringue is the formation of stiff peaks formed by denaturing the protein ovalbumin (a protein in the egg whites) via mechanical shear.

McCarty further demonstrated the precise configuration of the hexosamine linkage by synthesizing both α- and β-N-acetyl-glucosamine ovalbumin and showing that only the second reacted with group A antisera.

Interestingly, the introduction of T cell epitopes from a hen-egg lysozyme or ovalbumin into mouse TNF-alpha also resulted in an increased cross-reactive antibody response in mice [ 38 ] .

To establish antigen-induced arthritis (AIA), rabbits were sensitized to ovalbumin by intradermal injections of 5 mg ovalbumin emulsified in Freund's complete adjuvant.

Coup (chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter) transcription factor binds to the ovalbumin promoter and, in conjunction with another protein (S300-II) stimulates initiation of transcription.

There is evidence that phagosome-to-cytosol diversion (cytolic diversion) of endocytosed ovalbumin antigens (OVA) occur in Archaea, after which classical antigen processing for presentation by MHC I occurs.

GnRHmarker GnRH: a polyclonal antibody raised against GnRH conjugated with glutaraldehyde to ovalbumin was generously provided by Dr. Susan Wray (NIH).

In 1980 Hunt and Dayhoff made the surprising discovery that both these molecules share significant amino acid sequence similarity to the major protein in chicken egg white, ovalbumin, and they proposed a new protein superfamily.
