Hordein is a prolamin glycoprotein, present in barley and some other cereals, together with gliadin and other glycoproteins (such as glutelins) coming under the general name of gluten. Hordeins are found in the endosperm where one of their functions is to act as a storage unit.

Hordeins, the major storage proteins of barley, consist of a complex polymorphic mixture with major grouping B, C, D and γ designated on the basis of the molecular size by electrophoresis (Kreis and Shewry, 1992).

Hordein is a protein found in barley, which is similar to the proteins gliadin and secalin found in wheat and rye, respectively. It is a component of gluten, a protein complex found in related grains.

Hordein accumulation was compared to the pattern seen for two abundant control proteins, serpin Z4 (an early accumulator) and lipid transferase protein (LTP1, a late accumulator). Hordeins were detected from 6 days post-anthesis (DPA) and peaked at 30 DPA.

Nov 30, 2021 · The gliadins, secalins and hordein are known to trigger/cause the celiac or coeliac disease (CD) in genetically susceptible individuals characterized by severe damage of jejunal mucosa (villi) by...

Hordein is the storage protein of barley. Cereal proteins have been classified into four major categories based upon their solubility in various solvents. The alcohol-soluble fraction in cereals is composed of storage proteins called prolamines. The prolamines of barley are called hordeins.

Proteolytic breakdown of hordein during malting and mashing is summarized and the composition of hordein from barley, malt and spent grains is compared. Key words: protein, hordein, barley, malt, mashing, average 10% of the total barley hordein." The H hordein can. weight (MW)." The smallest polypeptides, group A (average.

Oct 24, 2019 · In barley, there are four hordein groups: γ-, B-, C-, and D-hordeins. Here, we describe a novel methodology to separate and characterize hordeins in barley grain and malt by capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS).

Oct 25, 1985 · The B-hordeins are the major group of prolamin storage proteins in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and they are encoded by a small multigene family that is expressed specifically in the developing endosperm. We report the complete nucleotide sequence of a clone of one B-hordein gene (pBHR184).

Hordenine is an alkaloid of the phenethylamine class that occurs naturally in a variety of plants, taking its name from one of the most common, barley (Hordeum species).
