VMO-II Mediates the Binding of the Chalaziferous Layer with the Vitelline Membrane in Quail Eggs
Electron microscopic observations have revealed an electron density gradient in the chalaziferous layer of avian egg. The density is highest in the innermost sub-layer, which is bound with the vitelline membrane, and is thus traditionally referred to as the vitelline membrane outer layer (VMO). Af...
