The various forms of peptidase 1 pertaining to individual mite species comprise the group 1 mite allergens.[5] Following the naming conventions of allergens, these peptidase 1 variants include Der p 1 of the European house dust miteDermatophagoides pteronyssinus;[6]Der f 1 of the American house dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae;[1]Eur m 1 of the Mayne's house dust mite Euroglyphus maynei;[7] and Pso o 1 of the sheep scab mite Psoroptes ovis.[8] The group 1 mite allergens, especially Der p 1 and Der f 1, are major sources of house dust mite (HDM) allergies in temperate climates.[6][9][10]
