Non-specific lipid-transfer protein Cit s 3 (Cit s 3)

Target
Cit s 3
Molecular classification
Other, Plant non-specific lipid-transfer protein
01

Overview

Cit s 3 is a non-specific lipid-transfer protein found in citrus fruits, classified as a plant lipid-transfer protein responsible for shuttling phospholipids and galactolipids across plant membranes and possibly involved in the biosynthesis or deposition of protective plant layers such as wax or cutin. It does not function as a recognized therapeutic target for human drugs but is clinically important as a food allergen implicated in citrus fruit allergies.

02

Mechanism of action

Not applicable (not a drug target)

03

Biological functions

Lipid transfer across plant membranesInvolvement in wax and cutin deposition in plants
04

Disease associations

Not directly relevant to human diseases; Cit s 3 is a plant protein, mainly known as a citrus allergen (major allergen from citrus fruits) rather than a therapeutic human target
05

Safety considerations

Allergenic potential: Major cause of allergic reactions to citrus fruits in sensitized individuals
06

Interacting drugs

None known
07

Biomarkers

Cit s 3 can serve as a biomarker for citrus fruit allergy in plant-allergic individuals
