Ovalbumins

Ovalbumin (CAS 9006-59-1) is a major protein found in egg white, exhibiting anticancer, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory activities. Ovalbumin is the most abundant protein synthesized in the oviduct of progesterone- or estrogen-treated animals and is commonly used as a marker for studying hormone regulation of gene expression in tissues.

Ovalbumin (OVA) is commonly used as a model antigen to establish animal models of allergic asthma and airway inflammation and is widely applied in the study of asthma immune mechanisms and anti-asthma drugs.

Ovalbumin is a glycoprotein that does not act through a single defined molecular target and is widely used to study antigen processing and presentation pathways, including major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mediated immune responses and the activation of downstream T-cell signaling cascades.
