Peanut allergen Ara h 6

Molecular classification: Allergen, Protein, 2S albumin seed storage protein

Overview

Ara h 6 is a major peanut allergen, a highly stable 2S albumin seed storage protein. Its resistance to digestion and heat contributes to its allergenic potential, making it a clinically relevant marker for diagnosis and risk assessment of peanut allergy. Sensitization to Ara h 6, even without co-sensitization to Ara h 2, can result in severe allergic reactions.
