Ovalbumin: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:24, 13 June 2016

Ovalbumin (OVA) is the main protein found in egg white^[1]. OVA function is unknown and it is presumed to be a storage protein.

OVA inhalation produces allergic airway inflammation^[2].

Update February 2013

1ova – cOVA – chicken

1jti – cOVA (mutant)

1uhg – cS-OVA
3vvj - OVA - emu
