Almond (Prunus dulcis) belongs to the rosaceae. With 25 % the fraction of proteins in almond is high. Some of these proteins are known for being aller­genic. In addition to profilin which is known to be cross-reactive to grass pollen, the almond major protein AMP has the greatest relevancy. AMP is known to be heat...

Sensitivity: 1.5 ppb. Sample Type: food (extraction, centrifugation, dilution). Standard Range: 10 - 400 ppb. Sample Volume: 100 µl. Assay Time: 20, 20 min (RT), 20 min (RT/dark). Protein function: Primary component of whey, it binds retinol and is probably involved in the transport of that molecule. [The UniProt...
