  • Title: Trypsin-inhibitory activity of ovalbumin preparations is due to ovomucoid.
    Author: Odum L.
    Journal: Biol Chem Hoppe Seyler; 1987 Dec; 368(12):1603-6. PubMed ID: 3442603.
    Abstract:
    Based on the amino-acid sequence it has been proposed that ovalbumin is a proteinase inhibitor. The inhibitory activity against trypsin, chymotrypsin, pancreatic elastase, plasmin, thrombin and pancreatic kallikrein was tested, but none of these proteinases were inhibited by ovalbumin. A commercial preparation of ovalbumin contained an impurity with trypsin inhibitory activity. This impurity was probably ovomucoid.
