Gene nameLALBA
Protein nameAlpha-lactalbumin (Lactose synthase B protein)
Alpha-lactalbumin (Lactose synthase B protein) (Lysozyme-like protein 7)
SynonymsLYZL7
DescriptionFUNCTION: Regulatory subunit of lactose synthase, changes the substrate specificity of galactosyltransferase in the mammary gland making glucose a good acceptor substrate for this enzyme. This enables LS to synthesize lactose, the major carbohydrate component of milk. In other tissues, galactosyltransferase transfers galactose onto the N-acetylglucosamine of the oligosaccharide chains in glycoproteins.
