Porcine Protein Allergens
- Molecular classification
- Serum Albumin, Carbohydrate Epitope, Protein
01
Overview
Porcine protein allergens are proteins derived from pigs (Sus scrofa) that can trigger allergic reactions in sensitized individuals. The most significant allergens identified in pork are Sus s 1 (porcine serum albumin) and the carbohydrate epitope alpha-gal (galactose-α-1,3-galactose). These proteins can cause a range of allergic responses, from mild skin symptoms to severe anaphylaxis. Management primarily involves strict avoidance of pork and products containing porcine-derived ingredients, along with emergency preparedness for anaphylactic reactions.
