UniProt functional annotation for O82040

UniProt code: O82040.

Organism: Phleum pratense (Common timothy).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; Liliopsida; Poales; Poaceae; BOP clade; Pooideae; Poodae; Poeae; Poeae Chloroplast Group 2 (Poeae type); Poinae; Phleum.
 
Function: May be involved in the regulation of pollen-tube growth. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:23011803}.
 
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23011803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30150373}.
Tissue specificity: Specifically expressed in pollen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10224228}.
Allergen: Causes an allergic reaction in human (PubMed:10224228, PubMed:30150373). Binds to IgE of sensitized grass pollen allergic patients (PubMed:10224228, PubMed:30150373). Triggers immediate hypersensitivity reactions by cross-linking receptor-bound IgE molecules on effector cells, and induces degranulation of basophils sensitized with IgE (PubMed:30150373). Recombinant protein induces basophil histamine release and immediate type skin reactions in sensitized allergic patients (PubMed:10224228). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10224228, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30150373}.
