| 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}. | |
