Oestrogen induction of riboflavin-binding protein in immature chicks. Nature of the secretory protein.

U S Murthy, P R Adiga
PMCID: PMC1183899  PMID: 637847

Abstract

The riboflavin-binding protein isolated from sera of oestrogen-treated male chicks as well as that synthesized and secreted in vitro by the chicken liver have the same molecular size as that of the egg-yolk protein. Functionally the serum and yolk proteins are similar. This is in contrast with the hormone-induced synthesis, secretion and deposition of phosvitin and lipovitellin in the ovary.
