β-Lactoglobulin

β-Lactoglobulin, a major whey protein, is a small globular protein from the lipocalin family. β-Lactoglobulin is an important source of the essential and branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) . β-Lactoglobulin shows antioxidant properties, because it contains two disulfide bonds and one free thiol group. β-Lactoglobulin is a ligand transport agent. β-Lactoglobulin is one of the major allergens in milk and can be utilized in the research for developing safe hypoallergenic dairy products[1][2][3][4].
