Function
Glycinin is the major seed storage protein of soybean (PubMed:2485233). Glycinin basic peptides (GBPs), and, to a lower extent, glycinin exhibit antibacterial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (e.g. L.monocytogenes, B.subtilis, E.coli and S.enteritidis) by forming pores and aggregating in transmembranes, leading to membrane permeability and, eventually, cell death (PubMed:22236762, Ref.12, PubMed:28590128).
