Species: Morus alba (White mulberry)
NCBI Taxomony ID: 229046
Biochemical name:Cobalamin-independent methionine synthase
MW(SDS-PAGE):84 kDa
Allergenicity:Eleven subjects in Turkey with inhalation allergen and positive SPT to mulberry pollen extract (although 7 were late phase reactors) were tested for IgE binding to white mulberry pollen protein by western blot. The protein was cloned by PCR. The natural protein was confirmed by mass spectrometry. 11 of 11 were positive for IgE reactivity. results were reported in a scientific meeting in Turkey in 2018.
