Peanuts - what is the allergen?

 The proteins in peanuts that are known to be allergenic to humans are:

Ara h 1: a 11S globulin seed storage protein

Ara h 2: a 2S albumin seed storage protein

Ara h 3: a 3S albumin seed storage protein

Ara h 6: a 7S vicilin-like seed storage protein

Studies have shown that these proteins are the main allergens responsible for causing allergic reactions in people with peanut allergies. However, it's important to note that not everyone who is allergic to peanuts will react to all of these proteins, and some people may have an allergic reaction to other peanut proteins that are not listed here. Additionally, the severity of reactions can vary greatly from person to person.
