Proteomic characterization of vitellogenins from three species of South American fresh water fish

ABSTRACT Vitellogenins (Vtg) are glycolipophosphoproteins synthesized by oviparous vertebrates as yolk proteins precursors. These proteins have been studied for their role in reproduction and in endocrine disruption. In this work, we report the first proteomic study towards the characterization of V...
