Protein
Vitelline membrane outer layer protein 1
Function
Exact function not known, component of the outer membrane of the vitelline layer of the egg. Seems to be able to synthesize N-acetylchito-oligosaccharides (n=14-15) from hexasaccharides of N-acetylglucosamine in a manner similar to the transferase activity of lysozyme.
Similarity
Belongs to the VMO1 family.
