Description

hevein: 43-amino acid residue protein from the rubber tree; homology with thionins and WHEAT GERM AGGLUTININS; not strictly a lectin since it does not act as an agglutinin but has the hevein motif characteristic of lectins; [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

Research Excerpts

Overview

Hevein (Hev b 6.02) is a major IgE-binding allergen in natural rubber latex and manufactured products. Hevein is a chitin-binding protein of 43 amino acids found in the lutoid body-enriched fraction of rubber tree latex.
