General annotation (Comments)

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.
