Application

Conalbumin has been used:
  • as a constituent of Leibovitz 15 (L15) medium involved in preparation of primary neuronal cultures
  • to study its adsorption property on a metal surface in the presence of an external electric potential
  • to determine its adsorption isotherms in anion exchange chromatography by multivariate analysis

Biochem/physiol Actions

Conablumin (aka ovotransferrin) is a glycoprotein derived from egg white with a sequence similar to serum transferrin, but with a different glycosylation pattern. It is a strong iron binder with antiviral and antibacterial activities.
Conalbumin facilitates the transport of iron to the developing embryo. It exhibits anti-microbial activity thus, conalbumin is used in various applications such as infant formula ingredient, a food additive, and an antimicrobial agent for enhancing animal health. In addition, it also acts as an antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidative, antihypertensive and immunoregulatory agent.

General description

Conalbumin, also referred to as ovotransferrin, is encoded by the avian transferrin gene in the oviduct. It is a monomeric glycoprotein consisting of 686 amino acids and is a member of transferrin family. Conalbumin is one among the abundant proteins present in the chicken egg white.
