Function

LACB_SHEEP Lactoglobulin is the primary component of whey, it binds retinol and is probably involved in the transport of that molecule.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The crystal structure of the triclinic form of the milk protein beta-lactoglobulin from sheep (Ovis aries) at 1.1 A resolution is described together with a comparison of the triclinic structures of the low-pH bovine and high-pH ovine proteins. All three structures are remarkably similar, despite the well known pH-dependent conformational transition described for the bovine and porcine proteins that occurs in solution. The high resolution of the present structure determination has allowed a more accurate description of the protein than has hitherto been possible, but it is still not clear whether flexibility changes in the external loops can compensate for the presence of a significant void in the unliganded interior of the structure.
