Mal d 3.0101, a non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP), is a major apple (Malus domestica) allergen. LTPs are found mainly in aerial plant organs such as leaves, seeds, flowers, and fruit. The heat-stable protein is characterized by having resistance to pepsin hydrolysis.

Pen a 1.0101, a Tropomyosin, is the only major allergen in brown shrimp Penaeus aztecus. The panallergen is a highly conserved and soluble muscle protein characterized by an alpha-helical homodimeric, coiled-coil structure.

A toxic dye, chemically related to trinitrophenol (picric acid), used in biochemical studies of oxidative processes where it uncouples oxidative phosphorylation. It is also used as a metabolic stimulant.

Norbornene is a highly strained bridged cyclic hydrocarbon. It is a white solid with a pungent sour odor. The molecule consists of a cyclohexene ring with a methylene bridge between carbons 1 and 4. The molecule carries a double bond which induces significant ring strain and significant reactivity.

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinic acid, is an organic compound with the formula C6H5NO2 and, depending on the definition used, one of the 20 to 80 essential human nutrients. Pharmaceutical and supplemental niacin are primarily used to treat hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol) and pellagra (niacin deficiency)

Major apple (Malus domestica) allergen Mal d 1, a ribonuclease, is a heat-sensitive allergen and belongs to the protein class of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. The allergen shares homologous IgE epitopes with major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 and Cor a 1 from hazelnut pollen.

Ara h 8.0101 which is a part of the PR-10 protein family is a Bet v 1-homologous panallergen. Ara h 8.0101 is cross-reactive with Gly m 4 from soy bean and Bet v 1 from silver birch. Ara h 8.0101 is responsible for oral allergy syndrome and also has low stability to roasting and no […]

Glycinin Ara h 3 is a seed storage protein, 11 S globulin and trypsin inhibitor from peanut. Each subunit of the hexamer is composed of an acidic and a basic chain derived from a single precursor and linked by a disulfide bond. Ara h 3 and Ara h 4 are considered to be isoforms.

Vitamin D refers to a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate, and zinc. In humans, the most important compounds in this group are vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol) and vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). Cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol can be ingested from the diet and from supplements. Very few […]
