Edestin is a globular protein (biologically active) as opposed to fibrous protein (structural). Edestin is metabolized in the human body and capable of biosynthesizing: hormones (which regulate all the body processes), hemoglobin (which transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide), enzymes (which catalyze and control biochemical reactions), antibodies (immunoglobulins which fend off invading bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, as well as toxins or antigens as they enter the body). Commercial hemp seeds (for human consumption) contain an average 30-35% protein, of which 60-80% is edestin (the remainder being albumin) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edestin |
