Biology:Kiwellin
From HandWiki
Short description: Type of protein
Kiwellin is a protein prevalent in cell walls of plants.[1] It is one of the most abundant proteins found in kiwifruits and is known to be an allergen in humans.[2] In maize it works as part of its defense mechanism against corn smut.[3] and may also be part of the tomato and potato plants defense mechanism against potato blight[4]
