主 题:Ovocalyxin Ovocleidin antimicrobial protease inhibitor cuticle eggshell shell membranes review
摘 要:This review will focus on the more abundant eggshell specific matrix proteins localized in the chicken eggshell (cuticle layer eggshell matrix and shell membranes) that are involved in eggshell mineralization and protecting the egg against microbial contamination, including ovocalyxin-36, ovocleidin-17, ovocalyxin-32 and ovocalyxin-25. Further understanding of these proteins and their mechanisms in egg defence could lead to the development of novel neutraceuticals for human health, additives to animal feed for healthy flocks, or enhanced eggs for human consumption.
