Beetin
A beetin (BE27 or BE29) is a ribosome-inactivating protein found in the leaves of the sugar beet, Beta vulgaris L. Beetins are type-I (single-chain) proteins. The expression of beetin is only found in mature plants, but is present in all developing stages.[1][2]
Beetin 27 (BE27) has anti-pathogenic properties that are activated when exposed to hydrogen peroxide and salicylic acid.[3]
