sometimes, but this is only in certain things and isn't a very good rising agent.a good agent is sodium hydrogen carbonate, aka baking powder, the egg can act as an emulsifier if the egg yolk is used, but if the egg yolk is not used and just the white , it can be used for a thickening ability, also to create a certain texture when whisked. Eggs are a good source of protein so may just be used for their nutritions.
