Bovine alpha Lactalbumin, alpha-La ELISA Kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma Detection Range: 0.054 ng/ml - 40 ng/ml Sensitivity: 0.054 ng/ml Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: CompetitiveAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
