Chicken egg albumin (Ovalbumin) is the major protein constituent of egg whites. Chicken egg albumin is a phosphorylated-glycoprotein. From the amino acid sequence, the peptide portion of the molecule consists of 385 residues and has a molecular weight of 42.7kD. This sequence completely agrees with the reported m- RNA (messenger RNA) sequence. The carbohydrate and phosphate portions account for an additional 1428 and 160 grams per mole respectively, giving a total molecular weight of 44.3kD. Differential scanning calorimetry indicates the chicken egg albumin denatures at 84°C. Ovalbumin can be used as a carrier protein to conjugate to synthetic peptides for use as an immunogen. It has the following amino acids: 20 Lys, 10 Tyr, 6 Cys, 14 Asp and 33 Glu which make it suitable for conjugation.
