CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF APO-BOVINE ALPHA-LACTALBUMINCRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF APO-BOVINE ALPHA-LACTALBUMIN
Structural highlights
1f6r is a 6 chain structure with sequence from Bos taurus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
LALBA_BOVIN 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.
