Xenopus Gene Name and symbol was changed from LOC100487580 , LOC108695710 and LOC108697150, ovostatin, to ovos5a, ovostatin 5A following phylogenetic analaysis of the vertebrate ovostatin and a2m protein/gene family by the HGNC.
LOC100487580 , LOC108695710 , LOC108697150, are recorded as Synonyms.
OVOS protein background
Ovostatins (OVOS gene /protein family) were originally called “ovomacroglobulins”, and were first identified in the 1960's as an abundant proteins from the 'whites' of chicken eggs [1]. Ovostatins were subsequently shown to be active enzymes that inhibited the peptidases trypsin, papain and thermolysin [2].
