High impact information on LOC424547

In the liver of the egg-laying hen, the levels of RNAs encoding VTGI, VTGII, and VTGIII are approximately 11,000, 30,000, and 3,000 molecules per cell, respectively [1].

Associations of LOC424547 with chemical compounds

Another yolk plasma glycoprotein of 42 kDa is suggested to be one of the proteolytic products of the minor vitellogenin (vitellogenin I) [2].
