Alliumin is a protein of 13 kDa and an N-terminal sequence similar to a partial sequence of glucanase. The protein has been isolated from multiple-cloved garlic (Allium sativum) bulbs (Xia and Ng, 2005). Alliumin has antifungal activity against Mycosphaerella arachidicola, but not against Fusarium oxysporum and is inhibitory also for the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens. It possesses antiproliferative activity towards leukemia L1210 cells. It is devoid of ribonuclease activity, protease activity, mitogenic activity toward mouse splenocytes, and antiproliferative activity toward hepatoma Hep G2 cells.
