noun vʌɪˈtɛlɪnvɪˈtɛlɪn

mass nounBiochemistry

The chief protein constituent of egg yolk.
〔生化〕卵黄磷蛋白
Example sentencesExamples
- The monoclonal antibodies used came from the yolk proteins vitellin and vitellogenin of the spined soldier bug, Podisus maculiventris, and the minute pirate bug, Orius insidiosus.
- One of the major changes that occurs during the maturation of oocytes is the accumulation of yolk protein, or vitellin.
- The biochemical, structural and amino acid sequence similarities between CMP and barnacle vitellin suggest that the former may be analogous to insect larval storage proteins (LSPs); the hexamerins.
- Therefore, if vitellin and CMP synthesis are under similar hormonal control, CMP expression may serve as a biomarker of endocrine disruption.
- The increase in the number descriptions of vitellogenin and vitellin has increased the ability to comprehend the differences that exist in decapod crustaceans.

Origin
