  • Title: Lysine-derived cross-links in the egg shell membrane.
    Author: Crombie G, Snider R, Faris B, Franzblau C.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1981 Jan 08; 640(1):365-7. PubMed ID: 6783087.
    Abstract:
    Egg shell membrane protein contains significant quantities of the lysine-derived aldehyde, allysine, and its aldol condensation product. NaB3H4 reduction followed by alkaline hydrolysis of purified protein revealed that there were six residues/1000 of both allysine and the reduced aldol while only traces of desmosine and isodesmosine were detected. The amino acid composition of the membrane protein did not resemble that of mammalian elastin.
