Lactalbumin Hydrolysate (331 words) |
 | Lactalbumin hydrolysate is a pancreatic digest of lactalbumin recommended for use in culture media for tissue culture, production of lactobacilli, virus, vaccines, fermentations and special diets. |
 | Small acidic protein a-lactalbumin, one of the major protein components of milk, is one of the most extensively investigated Ca2+-binding proteins, which does not belong to the EF-hand family of calcium-binding proteins. |
 | a-Lactalbumin acts as a regulatory subunit of galactosyltransferase in lactose synthase, which catalyzes the synthesis of lactose from UDP-galactose and glucose. |
| alpha lactalbumin (198 words) |
 | Alpha lactalbumin is a globular proein that is produced in mammary glands (Ren, et al 1993). |
 | Alpha lactalbumin binds several metal ions, including calcium, which is thought to play a role in the regeneration of native alpha lactalbumin from the reduced denatured form. |
 | Alpha lactalbumin also has a distinct zinc binding site that is thought to play a role in the binding of the lactose synthase complex (Ren, et al 1993). |
