Synonyms | LYZL7 |
Function | 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. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. |
Tissue Location | Mammary gland specific. Secreted in milk. |

Background
This gene encodes alpha-lactalbumin, a principal proteinof milk. Alpha-lactalbumin forms the regulatory subunit of thelactose synthase (LS) heterodimer and beta1,4-galactosyltransferase (beta4Gal-T1) forms the catalyticcomponent. Together, these proteins enable LS to produce lactose bytransfering galactose moieties to glucose. As a monomer,alpha-lactalbumin strongly binds calcium and zinc ions and maypossess bactericidal or antitumor activity. A folding variant ofalpha-lactalbumin, called HAMLET, likely induces apoptosis in tumorand immature cells.
