Characterization of the yolk protein lipovitellin and its developmental fate in embryos and larvae of winter flounder, Pleuronectes americanus

Lipovitellin, the predominant yolk protein of vertebrate eggs, is a mixture of heat-stable and heat-labile molecules in mature winter flounder eggs. The heat-stable lipovitellin fraction, purified from extracts of unfertilized eggs by brief heat treatment and gel permeation chromatography, contains...
