Proteomic Analysis of Chicken Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) during Embryonic Development Provides Functional Insight

Figure 6

Summary of CAM functions. Ca+2 transport: Ca+2 mobilization from ES and intracellular Ca+2 transport, vascular system (gaseous exchange, lymphatics, and blood), protection against pathogen invasion, and defense against luminal toxic contents, with assignment of proteins (as official gene symbol) identified in this study. Proteins shown in regular font were identified only in CAM ED12, while proteins displayed in italics were solely in CAM ED19. Proteins in bold were identified in CAM tissue samples at both time points (ED12 and ED19).
