MyBioSource.com's LALBA antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Western Blot. The LALBA antibody 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
