| Description | This entry represents a protein family unique to higher plants that includes cereal-type alpha-amylase inhibitors [ ], lipid transfer proteins [], seed storage proteins, and similar proteins []. Proteins in this family are known to play important roles, in defending plants from insects and pathogens, lipid transport between intracellular membranes, and nutrient storage []. Many proteins of this family have been identified as allergens in humans []. These proteins contain a common pattern of eight cysteines that form four disulfide bridges. | Name | Alpha-Amylase Inhibitors (AAI), Lipid Transfer (LT) and Seed Storage (SS) Protein |
| Short Name | LTSS | Type | Family |
