Popis:	Antifreeze proteins are a class of proteins synthesized by poikilothermic organisms under cold stress. These proteins have a random phylogenetic distribution and differ in primary and secondary structures and in regulatory pathways, but they all display a common feature: the ability to be adsorbed onto the surface of ice crystals and change their growth. This review summarizes data on the origin of antifreeze proteins, their taxonomic distribution, and their activities and functioning mechanisms, with emphasis on cereals, including wheat.
