MyBioSource.com's LALBA Antibody (Center) is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. The LALBA Antibody (Center) was generated using Alpha-lactalbumin, Lactalbumin alpha, and LALBA as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
This gene encodes alpha-lactalbumin, a principal protein
of milk. Alpha-lactalbumin forms the regulatory subunit of the
lactose synthase (LS) heterodimer and beta
1,4-galactosyltransferase (beta4Gal-T1) forms the catalytic
component. Together, these proteins enable LS to produce lactose by
transfering galactose moieties to glucose. As a monomer,
alpha-lactalbumin strongly binds calcium and zinc ions and may
possess bactericidal or antitumor activity. A folding variant of
alpha-lactalbumin, called HAMLET, likely induces apoptosis in tumor
and immature cells
