LALBA - lactalbumin alpha Gene
Also Known as LYZG; HAMLET
Species: Homo sapiens
About LALBA
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 109 orthologues and 8 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
