During chick embryonic development, calcium is supplied to the embryo from two sources: the yolk and the During the first half of gestation (ie, up to the 9-10th day of incubation), the yolk appears to be the sole calcium supplier. During the second half of gestation, after the 11-12th day, the shell calcium reserve (mainly calcite, CaC03) begins to be mobilized and embryonic calcium content rapidly increase^.^ In this manner, the shell contributes over 80% of the total body calcium (approximately 140-150 mg) of the hatching chick. The organ/tissue responsible for the translocation of the shell calcium into the embryonic circulation is the extraembryonic chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). 4 As shown in FIGURE 1, the CAM is formed as a result of the progressive fusion of the chorionic and allantoic membranes so that by incubation day 10, it completely surrounds the embryo and other contents of the egg and becomes attached to the shell/shell membrane. The calcium transport function of the CAM is highly developmentally regulated; activity begins around incubation day 12-13, rapidly increases in level thereafter, and reaches a maximal level around day 18-19.5+ 6 The functionally active CAM exhibits a three-layered architecture, consisting of the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm (FIG. 2) with the ectoderm being directly adjacent to the calcium-rich shell and shell membrane. It has been shown that the ectoderm, which is intercalated with a capillary bed, 7 is the calciumtransporting region of the CAM. 8p9 The transport activity of the CAM is highly specific for calcium which is mobilized unidirectionally and in an energy-dependent manner. 4 During our studies over the last several years on the mechanism of CAM calcium transport, we have identified several biochemical components that appear to play functional roles. These include:(1) a specific, high-molecularweight calcium-binding protein (CaBP); 10-'7 (2) carbonic anhydrase; 6 and, most recently,(3) a Ca2+-activated, Mg2+-dependent ATPase. 18 Of these, the CaBP has been most extensively studied and characterized. The CaBP is a soluble, peripheral membrane protein located on the cell surface of the ectodermal cells that face the shell/shell membrane; it is expressed in a developmentally regulated manner that is concomitant with the onset of calcium transport by the CAM; its expression is regulated by vitamin K, mediated at least by posttranslational formation of y-carboxyglutamate residues on the CaBP; the expression of active a This work is supported in part by grants from the National institutes of Health (HD 15306, HD 15822, and HD 17887) and the National Foundation-March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation (Basil O'Connor Starter Research Grant No. 5-343.)
