Birch pollen protein (Bet v 1)

Target
Bet v 1
Molecular classification
Pathogenesis-related class 10 (PR-10) protein, Allergen
01

Overview

Bet v 1 is the major allergen in birch pollen, belonging to the PR-10 protein family. It is a small protein with a hydrophobic cavity that binds ligands like flavonoids and iron. It plays a role in plant defense but is clinically relevant as the primary cause of birch pollen allergy, leading to allergic rhinitis and asthma. Sensitization is geographically variable, and cross-reactivity with other Fagales trees and certain foods is common. The allergenic potential is influenced by its ligand-binding state.
