Lunasin is a peptide from soybean seeds which has been demonstrated to have anticancer properties. It has also been reported in cereal seeds: wheat, rye, barley and Triticale. However, extensive searches of transcriptome and DNA sequence databases for wheat and other cereals have failed to identify sequences encoding either the lunasin peptide or a precursor protein. This raises the question of the origin of the lunasin reported in cereal grain.
芦那辛是一种来自大豆种子的肽,已被证明具有抗癌特性。在谷类种子中也有相关报道,如小麦、黑麦、大麦和小黑麦。然而,对小麦和其他谷类的转录组和DNA序列数据库进行广泛搜索,未能鉴定出编码芦那辛肽或前体蛋白的序列。这就引发了关于谷类中报道的芦那辛起源的问题。
