Gene Information

human ... LALBA(3906)

General description

The gene LALBA (α-lactalbumin) is mapped to human chromosome 12q13. It is a small acidic calcium-binding milk protein. LALBA constitutes about 20-25% of total protein in human milk. The protein has a helical α-domain and a β-sheeted β-domain.

Immunogen

lactalbumin, alpha- recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.
Anti-LALBA antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

LALBA (α-lactalbumin) is part of the lactose synthase complex and is responsible for the biosynthesis of lactose. Peptides generated after partial digestion of this protein have antimicrobial and immunostimulatory properties. A multimeric α-lactalbumin enhances cell death in tumors.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
