Native Human Lactalbumin

• Cat.No.: LALBA-8173H
• Product Overview: Prepared from Human Milk shown to be non reactive for HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HBc, and negative for anti-HIV 1, 2 by FDA required tests.

Specification

• 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.
