Product Description: Conalbumin (Ovotransferrin), also known as ovotransferrin, is a monomeric glycoprotein consisting of 686 amino acids, encoded by the avian transferrin gene in the oviduct, and a prominent component of chicken egg white. Exhibiting a unique glycosylation pattern that differentiates it from serum transferrin, Conalbumin is a potent iron binder that plays a crucial role in iron transport to developing embryos. Additionally, it possesses a range of biological activities, including antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidative, antihypertensive, and immunoregulatory properties, making it valuable in numerous applications such as infant formula ingredients, food additives, and agents for enhancing animal health.
