Alpha-lactalbumin
From Proteopedia
Lactalbumin (LCA) is the albumin contained in milk and obtained from whey. It has α (LCAa) and β (LCAb) forms. LCAa is the regulatory subunit of the lactose synthase heterodimer which produces lactose by transferring galactose moieties to glucose. LCAa is tested as a target for potential breast cancer vaccine. LCAb is the major whey protein of cow and sheep milk. LCAb is the target of testing for the presence of milk as an allergen.
