Avian eggshells are natural composite bioceramics containing organic and inorganic phases. The occurrence and role of particular collagens and proteoglycans in the eggshell and their pattern of secretion by the oviduct is discussed. While type X collagen, the main constituent of the shell membranes, functions to inhibit their mineralisation, mammillan, a mammillary keratan sulphate proteoglycan, is involved in nucleation of the first calcite crystals of the shell and ovoglycan, a unique…

Distinct Effects of Avian Egg Derived Anionic Proteoglycans on the Early Stages of Calcium Carbonate Mineralization

The effects of egg membrane- and shell-associated proteoglycans, namely, keratan sulfate and dermatan sulfate, respectively, on the nascent stages of CaCO3 mineralization are addressed.

Determination of insoluble avian eggshell matrix proteins

This work studied EDTA-insoluble proteins by gradual decalcification of eggshell with EDTA and identified for the first time collagens I and III in the eggshell matrix, and Kunitz-like protease inhibitor as a major shell matrix protein.

Proteomic analysis of the acid‐soluble organic matrix of the chicken calcified eggshell layer

The present study is the first comprehensive proteomic study of a vertebrate biomineral and is intended as a starting point for the detailed molecular characterization of eggshell matrix proteins, their interactions in the matrix network and functional studies.

Phosphoproteins of the chicken eggshell calcified layer

The chicken eggshell matrix is a complex mixture of proteins and proteoglycans that contains phosphoproteins that are thought to affect mineralization of the matrix, and phosphorylated proteins of these proteins contained more than 150 different phosphorylation sites, 103 of which were determined with high confidence.

Results indicate that ovalbumin is present during the initial phase of shell formation and becomes incorporated into the protein matrix of the mammillary bodies of the decalcified eggshell.
