Comments

FUNCTION: Miraculin has the property of modifying a sour taste into a sweet taste. This alteration of taste perception persists for many minutes.
SUBUNIT: Homotetramer; dimer of homodimer.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in fruit pulp after pollination. Not expressed in seeds, stems or leaves.
PTM: Glycosylated; contains as much as 13,9% of sugars (glucosamine, mannose, galactose, xylose, and fucose).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the protease inhibitor I3 (leguminous Kunitz-type inhibitor) family [view classification].
