- Rubber particles (RP) are colloidal components present in natural rubber latex and it comprise 30–45% of the whole latex volume.
- The major rubber particles protein of 24 kDa has been suggested to be tightly associated with small rubber particles as well as also involved in rubber biosynthesis.
- The two major proteins that are tightly associated with the catalytically active rubber particles have been sequenced to be peroxidase and trypsin inhibitor.
- The rubber particle is where the rubber biosynthesis occurs, and it consists of a lipophilic cis-polyisoprene core surrounded by monolayer membrane of lipids and several proteins.
