Vitellogenins Level as a Biomarker of the Honeybee Colony Strength in Urban and Rural Conditions [PDF]
InsectsThe study aimed to verify whether urban beekeeping affects the strength of the honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies from urban apiaries and the variability of the crucial for their health and long-life protein—vitellogenins.

Vitellogenins - Yolk Gene Function and Regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Vitellogenins are a family of yolk proteins that are by far the most abundant among oviparous animals. In the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the 6 vitellogenins are among the most highly expressed genes in the adult hermaphrodite intestine, which

Research Note: Integrated proteomic analyses of chicken egg yolk granule [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2023 : Chicken egg yolk granules (EYG) were the precipitated component of egg yolk after water dilution and centrifugation. Compared with egg yolk, EYG are rich in proteins, phospholipids, and minerals.

Expression analysis of vitellogenins in the workers of the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Vitellogenin has been proposed to regulate division of labor and social organization in social insects. The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) harbors four distinct, adjacent vitellogenin genes (Vg1, Vg2, Vg3, and Vg4).

Lrp13 is a novel vertebrate lipoprotein receptor that binds vitellogenins in teleost fishes[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2014 Transcripts encoding a novel member of the lipoprotein receptor superfamily, termed LDL receptor-related protein (Lrp)13, were sequenced from striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and white perch (Morone americana) ovaries. Receptor proteins were purified from
