Application

?-Lactalbumin from bovine milk has been used:in indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and competitive ELISA methodsin binding of Hsp90 and HSJ1b analysisto inhibit the lysozyme CAP-RAST assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alters the substrate specificity of galactosyltransferase to increase the rate of lactose formation; the complex of galactosyltransferase and α-lactalbumin is called lactose synthase. Site-directed mutagenesis of Asp⁸⁷ or Asp⁸⁸ to Ala completely abolishes the strong calcium binding affinity and reduces the stimulation of lactose synthase to ﹤3.5% of the maximal rate.

?-Lactalbumin is the cheif protein in human milk. It consists of a single polypeptide chain with 8 cysteines which form disulfide bridges. ?-Lactalbumin binds several metal ions, including calcium, which is thought to play a role in the regeneration of native ?-lactalbumin from the reduced, denatured form. ?-Lactalbumin also has a distinct zinc binding site that is thought to play a role in the binding of the lactose synthase complex.The mature protein consists of 123 amino acid residues (14 kD), and it has a three-dimensional structure with 1.7 Angstrom resolution, demonstrating four ?-helices and a triple stranded antiparallel ?-sheet.

General description

?-Lactalbumin is a small, globular, whey protein that has been found in all milk studied to date. It is a metalloprotein of approximately 14 kDa produced in the mammary glands.
