A protein with amino acid sequence homology to bovine insulin is present in the legume Vigna unguiculata (cowpea)
Since the discovery of bovine insulin in plants, much effort has been devoted to the characterization of these proteins and elucidation of their functions. We report here the isolation of a protein with similar molecular mass and same amino acid sequence to bovine insulin from developing fruits of c...
