General annotation (Comments)

Function	Is a source of both structural and energetic molecules during embryonic development. Ref.3 Ref.6 Neurotoxin. Intraperitoneal injection into mice causes damage mostly in spinal cord. Ref.3 Ref.6
Subunit structure	Perivitellin-2 has two subunits of 31 kDa and 67 kDa that form a 400 kDa oligomeric protein. Ref.2
Tissue specificity	Produced by albumen secretory cells. Found in developing eggs. Ref.5
Developmental stage	Albumen secretory cells produce perivitellin-2 during the reproductive period. Ref.5
Post-translational modification	Glycosylated. Contains four O-linked and one N-linked oligosaccharide bonds. The protein contains 2.5% of carbohydrates (high levels of mannose, galactose, and NAcGlucosamine, and small amounts of NacGalactosamine). Ref.4 Very high density lipoprotein (VHDL). Contains 3.75% of lipids. The major lipid classes are free sterols and phospholipids and also have significant quantities of energy-providing triacylglycerides and free fatty acids.
Toxic dose	LD50 is 250 µg/kg by intraperitoneal injection into mice. Ref.6
Miscellaneous	Mice receiving sublethal doses of toxin become immunized towards the toxin and doses up to LD(100) do not kill them.
