General description

Conalbumin is an iron-binding protein. It is mainly present in the egg white of 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.

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 birds
  • to examine its effects on osteoclastogenesis
  • to 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 prevent bacterial growth and possesses immunomodulatory functions. Ovotransferrin also exhibits antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
