Addtional InformationFUNCTION: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.WEB RESOURCE:Name=Protein Spotlight; Note=The sweet side of life - Issue 17 of December 2001; URL="http://www.expasy.org/spotlight/back_issues/sptlt017.shtml";
