Plant lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) assemble a family of small (7–9 kDa) ubiquitous cationic proteins with an ability to bind and transport lipids as well as participate in various physiological processes including defense against phytopathogens. They also form one of the most clinically relevant classes of plant allergens. | A novel lipid transfer protein from the pea Pisum sativum Isolation recombinant expression solution structure antifungal activity lipid binding and allergenic properties
