NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Function: Non-inhibitory serpin. Storage protein of egg white. Ref.11 Ref.12
Subunit structure: Homodimer. Ref.17
Subcellular location: Secreted Ref.11.
Tissue specificity: Major protein of egg white.
Domain: The uncleaved signal peptide becomes available for membrane translocation of ovalbumin when the nascent chain is 50 to 60 residues long. The hydrophobic sequence, which lies between residues 27 and 43, folds back on the preceding residues to form an amphipathic hairpin structure which is the signal element recognized by the membrane.Unlike other serpins, after protease cleavage at the P-P' site, ovalbumin does not have the ability to undergo the conformational transition into the loop-inserted reactive-center-containing thermostabilized form. The bulky arginine residue (Arg-340) at the hinge region appears to be responsible for this lack of loop-inserted conformational change, but not for the absence of serpin inhibitory activity.During storage of fertilized and non-fertilized eggs or under alkaline conditions, the native ovalbumin conformer (N-ovalbumin) is transformed into a thermostabilized conformer, S-ovalbumin. Ser-165, Ser-237 and Ser-321 take on a D-configuration in this conformer and may be responsible for the thermostability.
Post-translational modification: Undergoes proteolytic cleavage first at the canonical P1-P1' site, and then at the P8-P7 site by subtilisin.
Allergenic properties: Can cause an allergic reaction in humans.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the serpin family. Ov-serpin subfamily.

Product Notes
The SERPINB14 serpinb14 (Catalog #AAA717039) is a Native Protein produced from Purified from chicken egg white and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's ovalbumin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SERPINB14 serpinb14 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ovalbumin, Native Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
