α-Lactalbumin
Globular Whey Protein
α-Lactalbumin is a globular whey protein primarily found in milk, functioning as a calcium and metal ion binding agent. This protein enhances stability through Ca2+ binding, while Zn2+ binding can lead to instability and aggregation under certain conditions. α-Lactalbumin demonstrates notable biological activities, including bactericidal and antiviral effects. Additionally, it exhibits anxiolytic and antidepressant properties, with these effects amplified during stress situations, making it a valuable reagent for research in protein functionality and therapeutic applications.
