General annotation (Comments)

Function

Miraculin has the property of modifying a sour taste into a sweet taste. This alteration of taste perception persists for many minutes.

Subunit structure

Homotetramer; dimer of homodimer.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in fruit pulp after pollination. Not expressed in seeds, stems or leaves.

Post-translational modification

Glycosylated; contains as much as 13,9% of sugars (glucosamine, mannose, galactose, xylose, and fucose).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protease inhibitor I3 (leguminous Kunitz-type inhibitor) family. [View classification]
