context_page_description: The cupin superfamily is a diverse superfamily of proteins named after its conserved barrel domain. The superfamily includes a wide variety of enzymes as well as non-enzymatic seed storage proteins.
  Members of the superfamily play a role in allergy, especially seed storage proteins like 7S and 11S globulins, also known as vicilins and legumins, respectively. These proteins can be found at high concentrations in seeds of both mono- and dicotyledonous plants and are an important component of the normal human diet.
