glycanin
Glycanin is a protein found in plants that plays a role in cell wall structure. It belongs to a family of proteins known as extensins, which are abundant structural glycoproteins in the plant cell wall. Glycanin's specific function is thought to be related to the assembly and organization of the cellulose microfibrils within the cell wall, contributing to its rigidity and strength.
The structure of glycanin is characterized by a high proline content and the presence of hydroxyproline residues,
Research into glycanin has revealed its importance in various plant developmental processes, including cell expansion, tissue
