 * It doesn't seem obvious that Ovotransferrin is the commonname, as some sources including the US National Library of Medicine use conalbumin. I suggest starting a formal RM. Lennart97 (talk) 10:36, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Informally, my reaction to the MeSH list is more "oh god oh no not the 70-year-old phrase coined before we know what it is" than not. In this case the Google Ngram data does indicate that the "conalbumin" is the older term. The assertion for more common usage is derived from my earlier observation on current biological literature -- UniProt notably simply calls it Ovotransferrin. In addition, searching for "Ovotransferrin" on Google returns actual 21-century results, while searching for the other term only gives things from the 1950s on the first page. --Artoria2e5 🌉 11:22, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
