Mabinlins are sweet-tasting proteins extracted from the seed of Mabinlang (Capparis masaikai Levl.) a Chinese plant growing in Yunnan province. There are four homologues. Mabinlin-2 was first isolated in 1983 and characterised in 1993 and is the most extensively studied of the four. The other variants of mabinlin-1 -3 and -4 were discovered and characterised in 1994.
