Prolamin

Index Prolamin

Prolamins are a group of plant storage proteins having a high proline content and found on plant materials mainly like in the seeds of cereal grains: wheat (gliadin), barley (hordein), rye (secalin), corn (zein), sorghum (kafirin) and as a minor protein, avenin in oats. [1]

Maize

Maize (Zea mays subsp. mays, from maíz after Taíno mahiz), also known as corn, is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago.

Oat

The oat (Avena sativa), sometimes called the common oat, is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed, which is known by the same name (usually in the plural, unlike other cereals and pseudocereals).

Proline

Proline (symbol Pro or P) is a proteinogenic amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.

Rye

Rye (Secale cereale) is a grass grown extensively as a grain, a cover crop and a forage crop.

Secalin

Secalin is a prolamin glyco-protein found in the grain rye, Secale cereale.

Storage protein

Storage proteins serve as biological reserves of metal ions and amino acids, used by organisms.

Wheat

Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain which is a worldwide staple food.
