What's the difference between conglutin and legumin?
Conglutin
Definition:
(n.) A variety of vegetable casein, resembling legumin, and found in almonds, rye, wheat, etc.
Example Sentences:
(1) The amino acid sequence of the smaller subunit of conglutin gamma, the simplest of the three globulins from the seeds of Lupinus angustifolius cv.

(10) These lesions cause anoxic and necrotic damage of the parenchyma and, in certain cases, the appearance of serious haemorrhagic syndromes where the initial stage is the conglutination of the erytrocytes followed by disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome.
(11) Direct conglutinating activity of type 3 sera was inhibited by heating serum at 50 degrees C for 30 min and was not restored by alternative activation pathway factor B. Chelation of Ca2+ in type 2 and 3 sera blocked sensitization of sheep E-rabbit A for conglutination by bovine conglutinin, indicating that the classical activation pathway was involved.
(12) Measurement of the degree of cicatrization, determination of the free hydroxyproline in serum, and histological findings helped to demonstrate that local application of rifamycin SV leads to an increased fibrinous conglutination of the lips of the wound at an early phase of the healing process and the subsequent formation of fibres in the regenerative tissue is not impaired.
(13) The diagnosis of phimosis is often used for another nonobstructive conditions of prepuce--conglutination or tight prepuce.
(14) The structure of the precursor polypeptide for conglutin delta predicted from the cDNA sequence contained an N-terminal leader peptide of 22 amino acids directly preceding a subunit polypeptide of Mr 4520, together with a linking region of 13 amino acids and a subunit polypeptide of Mr 9558 at the C-terminus.
(15) The conglutinating complement fixation test was compared with the haemolytic complement fixation test for the detection of brucella antibodies in human sera.
(16) By means of the peritoneography it is possible to see incorrect punctures into the abdominal walls, into the intestine, into the retroperitoneal space, or into peritoneal conglutinations before the radiogold instillation.
(17) Further investigation of the ECA reaction using techniques to distinguish between conglutination and immunoconglutination indicated ECA to be a conglutination reaction.
(18) Despite these similarities, the MBP and conglutinin were immunochemically distinct, and the MBP did not show any conglutination activity.
(19) Anisoinotropism presents as the forerunner of the well known "contraction band degeneration-necrosis", by progressive coagulative denaturation of the contractile proteins, up to conglutination and cancellation of sarcomere structures.
(20) Immunization also elicited detectable circulating antibody titres, with IHA and the conglutinating complement absorption test having a tendency to be enhanced after the booster dose.
Legumin
Definition:
(n.) An albuminous substance resembling casein, found as a characteristic ingredient of the seeds of leguminous and grain-bearing plants.
Example Sentences:
(1) Legumin was detected only in the seed of tobacco where the primary translation products were processed in a manner analogous to that which occurs in pea.
(2) It hydrolyses native vetch legumin and vicilin up to peptides having on average 9 and 16 amino acid residues respectively.
(3) Two plant introns along with flanking exon sequences have been isolated from an amylase gene of wheat and a legumin gene of pea and cloned behind the phage SP6 promoter.
(4) In the healthy group the insulin response was significantly lower after the leguminous meal than after the control meal (P less than 0.05) whilst the diabetic group showed lower insulin responses after all the high-fibre test meals.
(5) This communication is concerned with physiological, biochemical, and genetic studies of the regulation of ammonium (NH4+) assimilation by Rhizobia (root nodule bacteria) that infect leguminous plants.
(6) To this end, both copies of the alpha' subunit promoter legumin boxes were mutagenized in vitro.
(7) The root nodules of leguminous plants contain an oxygen-carrying protein which is somewhat similar to myoglobin.
(8) Most of that undigested fraction was smaller than the native legumin: 40 to 200 kDa instead of 360 kDa.
(9) But relatively little attention has been paid to lectins from non-leguminous foods.
(10) Our results show that the legumin boxes act together to increase transcription of the beta-conglycinin alpha' subunit gene by about a factor of ten.
(11) This study investigated the effect of prolonged ingestion of Leucaena leucocephala, a leguminous shrub with a potential as a source of animal feed in Southern Taiwan, by heifers on serum thyroid hormone levels.
(12) We conclude that legumin contains multiple targeting information, probably formed by higher structures of relatively long peptide sequences.
(13) Three test meals containing different types of dietary fibre in realistic amounts (cereal, leguminous and mixed-fibre), and one control meal were prepared.
(14) Translation of total poly(A)-containing RNA, free and membrane-bound polysomes in a cell-free wheat germs demonstrates that the globulins are preferentially produced on membrane-bound polysomes and that poly(A)-containing RNA includes the mRNA for both vicilin and legumin.
(15) With amino-terminal legumin-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase fusions expressed in tobacco seeds, efficient vacuolar targeting was obtained only with the complete alpha chain.

(18) The 5' flanking sequence of gene LegJ contains a sequence conserved in legumin genes from pea and other species, which is likely to have functional significance in control of gene expression.
(19) The presence of legumin-like constituents within the globulin fractions of wheat (Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale) and corn (maize, Zea mays) was demonstrated.
(20) The increase does not occur if the cereal fiber is replaced by lentil-derived leguminous fiber.
