Anti-Lactalbumin alpha antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the LALBA gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 142 amino acid residues and a mass of 16.2 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. It is reported to have mammary gland specific expression. A member of the Glycosyl hydrolase 22 protein family, it is a regulatory subunit of lactose synthase, changes the substrate specificity of galactosyltransferase in the mammary gland making glucose a good acceptor substrate for this enzyme. Other names for this target antigen include LYZG, alpha-lactalbumin, lactose synthase B protein, lysozyme G, lysozyme-like protein 7, and HAMLET. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. A number of Lactalbumin alpha antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
