Include only IUIS approved allergens.

Biochemical properties

This family contains enzymes with a wide range of activities comprising hydrolases such as invertase, inulinase, and other polysaccharide hydrolases as well as transferases such as sucrose:sucrose 1-fructosyl transferase. Family 32 glycosyl hydrolases comprise two distinct domains. The N-terminal domain, which forms a five bladed beta propeller, and the C-terminal domain, which forms a β-sandwich structure [1].

Allergens from this family

Sola l 2 (previously Lyc e 2), a β-fructofuranosidase from tomato, shows IgE reactivity due to its carbohydrate determinants [2].
