Chicken Riboflavin carrier protein
RCP in chicken eggs is in both the yolk and whites. The RCP found in the yolk differs from that of the egg white. The difference in amino acid structure of RCP attributes to the cite of production and the destination of the RCP—the yolk-RCP (made in the liver) had 11-13 less amino acid compared to the whites-RCP (made in the oviducts).

The concentration of RCP in chickens depends on the concentration of estradiol injected and an increased production of RCP can be induced.

The dependence of RCP production on estrogen enables a potential role in the detection of breast cancer.
