Background Discovered and described 40 years ago, non‐specific lipid transfer proteins
(nsLTP) are present in many plant species and play an important role protecting plants from …

Plant non-specific lipid-transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small, basic proteins present in
abundance in higher plants. They are involved in key processes of plant cytology, such as …

The non-specific lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) constitute a large protein family found in all
land plants. They are small proteins characterized by a tunnel-like hydrophobic cavity, which …

Pathogenesis related (PR) proteins are one of the major sources of plant derived allergens.
These proteins are induced by the plants as a defense response system in stress conditions …

Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are usually defined as small, basic
proteins, with a wide distribution in all orders of higher plants. Structurally, nsLTPs contain a …

Plant lipid‐transfer proteins (LTPs) are abundant, small, lipid binding proteins that are
capable of exchanging lipids between membranes in vitro. Despite their name, a role in …

Tree nuts are considered as part of a healthy diet due to their high nutritional quality.
However, they are also a potent source of allergenic proteins inducing IgE mediated …

Plant non-specific LTPs (lipid transfer proteins) form a protein family of basic polypeptides of
9 kDa ubiquitously distributed throughout the plant kingdom. The members of this family are …

The non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small, basic proteins characterized by a
tunnel-like hydrophobic cavity, capable of transferring various lipid molecules between lipid …

Many allergens feature hydrophobic cavities that allow the binding of primarily hydrophobic
small‐molecule ligands. Ligand‐binding specificities can be strict or promiscuous. Serum …
