Ovalbumin consists of <scene name='Sandbox-moshe/385_amino_acids/1'>385 amino acid residues</scene> (Nisbet et al. 1981). It is unique in that its signal sequence is in the middle of the polypeptide chain <scene name='Sandbox-moshe/Signal_sequence/2'>(234-252 residues</scene>) (Lingappa et al. 1979). Interestingly, ovalbumin has been found to have sequence homology with a group of proteinase inhibitors called [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/101/motm.do?momID=53 serpins] (30% homology with the archetype member of the family, <scene name='Sandbox-moshe/Alpha1-antitrypsin/4'>Alpha1-antitrypsin</scene> (Hunt and Dayhoff 1980). However, it differs from this group of inhibitors in that it does not undergo a conformational change upon proteolytic cleavage. Upon proteolytic cleavage, serpins are converted from the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformation, and each conformation exhibits different heat stabilities. Ovalbumin does not exhibit these structural changes or differences in heat stability (Stein et al. 1989).

The synthesis of ovalbumin is hormonally induced in the oviduct by the hormone oestrogens (O’Malley et al. 1979). The ovalbumin gene (ov) comprises eight exons and seven introns (McReynolds et al. 1978). Two genes under steroid hormone control have been found within a 46 kb region that also includes the ovalbumin gene. These genes, gene X and Y of unknown function, also have seven introns but are transcribed at a much lower level than ovalbumin mRNA (Royal et al. 1979, and LeMeur et al. 1981). The ovalbumin gene has been a model to study tissue-specific, steroid hormone-induced gene expression for decades; however, the regulation mechanisms of this gene are yet to be determined (Dougherty et al. 2009).
