Ovalbumin

Index Ovalbumin

Ovalbumin (abbreviated OVA) is the main protein found in egg white, making up approximately 55% of the total protein. [1]

Allergy

Allergies, also known as allergic diseases, are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system to typically harmless substances in the environment.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Bronchial hyperresponsiveness

Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (or other combinations with airway or hyperreactivity) is a state characterised by easily triggered bronchospasm (contraction of the bronchioles or small airways).

Conformational change

In biochemistry, a conformational change is a change in the shape of a macromolecule, often induced by environmental factors.

Egg allergy

Egg allergy is an immune hypersensitivity to proteins found in chicken eggs, and possibly goose, duck, or turkey eggs.

Egg white

Egg white is the clear liquid (also called the albumen or the glair/glaire) contained within an egg.

Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis (from the Greek "Ηλεκτροφόρηση" meaning "to bear electrons") is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field.

Hydrophobe

In chemistry, hydrophobicity is the physical property of a molecule (known as a hydrophobe) that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water.

Immunology

Immunology is a branch of biology that covers the study of immune systems in all organisms.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

New!!: Ovalbumin and Protein · See more »

Protein superfamily

A protein superfamily is the largest grouping (clade) of proteins for which common ancestry can be inferred (see homology).

New!!: Ovalbumin and Protein superfamily · See more »

Proteomics

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins.

New!!: Ovalbumin and Proteomics · See more »

Serine protease

Serine proteases (or serine endopeptidases) are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds in proteins, in which serine serves as the nucleophilic amino acid at the (enzyme's) active site.

New!!: Ovalbumin and Serine protease · See more »

Serpin

Serpins are a superfamily of proteins with similar structures that were first identified for their protease inhibition activity and are found in all kingdoms of life.

New!!: Ovalbumin and Serpin · See more »

Signal peptide

A signal peptide (sometimes referred to as signal sequence, targeting signal, localization signal, localization sequence, transit peptide, leader sequence or leader peptide) is a short peptide (usually 16-30 amino acids long) present at the N-terminus of the majority of newly synthesized proteins that are destined towards the secretory pathway.

New!!: Ovalbumin and Signal peptide · See more »

Storage protein

Storage proteins serve as biological reserves of metal ions and amino acids, used by organisms.

New!!: Ovalbumin and Storage protein · See more »

Unified atomic mass unit

The unified atomic mass unit or dalton (symbol: u, or Da) is a standard unit of mass that quantifies mass on an atomic or molecular scale (atomic mass).
