Legumin

<p>Legumin is family of globular <a href="/facts/Protein/Jxmagu3E">proteins</a> obtained from <a href="/facts/Beans/LPqkC1qW">beans</a>, <a href="/facts/Peas/hlndxpId">peas</a>, <a href="/facts/Lentils/GUuCEt0o">lentils</a>, <a href="/facts/Vetches/qmeT2Kq7">vetches</a>, <a href="/facts/Hemp_protein/meyDLhPS">hemp</a> and other leguminous seeds. Garden peas are a common nutritional source for humans that contains legumin.
</p><p>Legumin is similar to the <a href="/facts/Casein/Udl5k8sx">casein</a> of mammalian milk and was called "vegetable casein" since it was considered analogous to the mammalian protein. The primary function of the legumin protein in seeds is storage. Legumin proteins are one of the main storage proteins of <a href="/facts/Flowering_plant/E5eGYIvY">angiosperms</a> and <a href="/facts/Gymnosperm/lzcpfbUK">gymnosperms</a>. Legumin is an insoluble hexameric <a href="/facts/Conjugated_protein/A8wDQx3j">conjugated protein</a> with a high concentration of carbon and oxygen.
