A type of protein found in legume seeds, particularly in beans, that serves as a storage protein.
From 'con-' + 'phaseolin' (a protein in beans), where phaseolin itself comes from 'Phaseolus' (the bean genus). Scientific term formed to describe a variant or related form of the phaseolin protein.
Beans are basically nature's protein storage packages, and conphaseolin is one of the proteins they store for their future seedlings—it's why beans are so nutritious for humans too.
