摘　　要：Edible bird’s nest(EBN)is a kind of natural invigorant with a long history of consumption in Asia,especially in China.EBN is formed by mixing the saliva of swiftlets(Aerodramus)with feathers and other components during the breeding season.Proteins are the most important nutrient in EBN.By studying proteins in EBN,we can not only elucidate their components at the molecular level,but also study their bioactivities.Therefore,it is of great significance to study the proteins in EBN.Previous research on the proteins in EBN was preliminary and cursory,and no one has summarized and analyzed the proteins in EBN and correlated the bioactivities of these proteins with the biological functions of EBN.This article focused on the proteins in EBN,listed the proteins identified in different proteomic studies,and introduced the sources,structures and bioactivities of the most frequently identified proteins,including acidic mammalian chitinase,lysyl oxidase homolog 3,mucin-5AC,ovoinhibitor,nucleobindin-2,calciumbinding protein(MW:4.5×10~4)and glucose-regulated protein(MW:7.8×10~4).The properties of these proteins are closely related to the bioactivities of EBN.Therefore,this article can provide inspiration for further research on the efficacy of EBN.
