The proteome of the calcified layer organic matrix of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) eggshell
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Chicken eggshell mineralization is a prominent model for biomineralization not only because of its importance for avian reproduction but also because of the commercial interest associated with eggshell quality. An analysis and comparison of the protein constituents of eggshells of several species would contribute to a better understanding of the shell mineralization process. The recent publication of the turkey genome sequence now provides a basis for the in-depth analysis of the turkey eggshell proteome.
