Identification, characterization and epitope mapping of proteins encoded by putative allergenic napin genes from Brassica rapa
19 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Brassica rapeseed crops contain high concentrations of oil in the seed. The remaining meal, following oil extraction, has a high protein content, but is of low value due to the presence of high amounts of napin seed storage proteins. These 2S albumin-like proteins are difficult to digest and have been identified as major allergens in humans. OBJECTIVE: To comprehensively characterize the napin gene...
