?-Lactoglobulin was used in a cytologic assay for diagnosis of food hypersensitivity in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
?-Lactoglobulin from bovine milk has been used:for the generation of calibration curve for protein solubility indexin acid-base titrationas a standard for surface hydrophobicity analysis
General description
?-Lactoglobulin plays a key role in immune response and modulates IgM levels and cell proliferation. ?-Lactoglobulin from bovine is a model system for protein folding studies and denaturation kinetics. Polymorphisms in the ?-lactoglobulin modulates bovine milk production and composition.
Milk from dairy cows contains the protein ?-lactoglobulin (BLG). It naturally occurs in a number of genetic variants, and the most prevalent bovine variants are BLG A and BLG B.
A member of the lipocalin family, ?Lg is a small protein of 162 amino acids with a molecular mass of ?18,400 Da,. It has an eight-stranded ?-barrel (strands A-H) succeeded by a three-turn a-helix and a final ?-strand (strand I) that forms part of the dimerization interface.
