ABSTRACT
The primary biological function of avian eggs is giving rise to new life. Consequently, they contain essential elements for developing embryos, and numerous egg compounds, including proteins and peptides possess biological activity. For this reason, these substances have great potential to be used in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. This review summarizes available literature regarding the biological activity of egg yolk plasma proteins including Low-density Lipoproteins, Immunoglobulin Y, and newly discovered polypeptide complex- yolkin.
