Riboflavin carrier protein (RCP) from pigeon egg white and egg yolk have been isolated. The molecular weight of purified RCP of pigeon egg white and yolk has been found to be nearly same as that of previously isolated hen egg white and yolk RCPs. The amino acid composition of pigeon RCPs were observed to be almost similar to that of hen RCPs.
