Fel d 1 is the most prominent cat allergen, accounting for 96% of human cat allergies. [4] The remaining cat allergens are Fel d 2–8, [5] with Fel d 4, a major urinary protein found in the saliva of cats, [6] occurring the most in humans among the other seven allergens. All cats produce Fel d 1, including hypoallergenic cats.
Fel d 1 is a secretoglobin protein complex that, in cats, is encoded by the CH1 (chain 1/Fel d 1-A) and CH2 (chain 2/Fel d 1-B) genes. [2] [3] Among cats, Fel d 1 is produced largely in their saliva and by the sebaceous glands located in their skin. It is the primary allergen present on cats and kittens.

[59] The results showed the Siberian and Abyssinian cat fur as having lower Fel d 1 levels than the mixed breed cat. [59]
