Proteins are classified by biological functions and properties. Ovalbumin1 and conalbumin are included under the broad category albumin. It is worth noting that the word albumen ("-men") refers to the protein mixture derived from egg white while albumin ("-min") refers only to a specific class of proteins. As a group, albumins are generally soluble in water and dilute saline solutions. They are coagulated by heat and are found in the interstitial fluids of animals. The biological function of conalbumin is to isolate and sequester metallic contaminants in the egg white.
Ovomucoid and ovomucin are classified as mucoproteins. The mucoproteins are usually stable in heat and are easily soluble in water and mild saline solutions. Generally, they can be coagulated by low pH and ethanol. In nature, they occur in skin, bone, blood and eggs. In the egg, ovomucin is responsible for thickening the white.
Globulins is another general classification for proteins. These proteins resemble albumins in that they are coagulated by heat and are soluble in mild saline solutions. As a class they are generally insoluble in water. Like albumins, these proteins occur in the interstitial fluids of animals. Lysozyme, globulin G2 and G3 fall into this category. Lysozyme, which is also found in human saliva, is an enzyme that destroys bacteria.
