Anti-Ovalbumin Antibody recognizes ovalbumin that is the main protein found in egg white. Ovalbumin makes up 55-65% of the total protein. Ovalbumin displays sequence and three-dimensional homology to the serpin superfamily, but unlike most serpins, it does not undergo a conformational change upon proteolytic cleavage and is not a serine protease inhibitor. The function of ovalbumin is still unknown, although it is presumed to be a storage protein for tissue-specific, steroid hormone-induced gene expression. Ovalbumin is a key protein for biochemical investigations and processes and can be used as a control, blocking reagent, or antibody in assays such as ELISA, SDS-PAGE, IHC, Western Blot, and size exclusion chromatography.
