DESCRIPTION

Also known as LACB_BOVIN, LGB. Primary component of whey, it binds retinol and is probably involved in the transport of that molecule. Under physiological conditions beta-lactoglobulin exists as an equilibrium mixture of monomeric and dimeric forms (PubMed:9115437, PubMed:9760236, PubMed:8601463, PubMed:10595563). Interaction with LMBR1L which mediates the endocytosis of LGB has been observed in PubMed:17991420, but not in PubMed:23964685 (PubMed:17991420, PubMed:23964685).
