Vicilin

Vicilin is a globulin associated with legumin. It is used as a storage protein and commonly found in plants like pea or lentil.^[1]^[2]^[3] It has been suggested to be an allergen in allergic reactions to peas.^[4] Besides considered as an allergen, vicilin also considered as a class of protein that benefits plants by its ability to act against fungal activities and microbials.

Vicilins have similar amino acid sequences and cross-reactivity happen between vicilin allergens. ^[7]
