  • General notes

    Reproducibility is key to advancing scientific discovery and accelerating scientists’ next breakthrough.

    Abcam is leading the way with our range of recombinant antibodies, knockout-validated antibodies and knockout cell lines, all of which support improved reproducibility.

    We are also planning to innovate the way in which we present recommended applications and species on our product datasheets, so that only applications & species that have been tested in our own labs, our suppliers or by selected trusted collaborators are covered by our Abpromise™ guarantee.

    In preparation for this, we have started to update the applications & species that this product is Abpromise guaranteed for.

    We are also updating the applications & species that this product has been “predicted to work with,” however this information is not covered by our Abpromise guarantee.

    Applications & species from publications and Abreviews that have not been tested in our own labs or in those of our suppliers are not covered by the Abpromise guarantee.

    Please check that this product meets your needs before purchasing.

Properties

Target

  • 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.

  • Tissue specificity

    Mammary gland specific. Secreted in milk.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 22 family.

  • Cellular localization

    Secreted.

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, the antibodies mentioned are not suitable to detect these (human) proteins in ELISA. However, we have the following antibodies available: 1) Beta-lactoglobulin: Unfortunately, I was unable to find a human ortholog, and to my knowledge, in most experimental settings the bovine protein is detected in human breast milk (e.g. PMID8163788). If this is of interest for the customer, I am happy to let you know that we have two antibodies against the bovine beta-lactoglobulin in our catalog (ab112893, ab112894). Click here (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=112893). Click here (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=112894). 2) Alpha-lactalbumin: Again, we have antibodies against the bovine protein, but also one antibody against the human protein which are guaranteed to work in ELISA (ab112972, ab112973, ab35288). Click here (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=112972). Click here (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=112973). Click here (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=35288). 3) Casein: We only have one antibody against the human Casein, suitable for ELISA (ab91167). Click here (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=91167). 4) Lactoferrin: We have a number of antibodies available against the human lactoferrin some of which are not only guaranteed to work in a conventional ELISA, but also in Sandwich ELISA (sELISA), for example ab10110 or ab15811. Click here (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=10110). Click here (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=15811). Please find attached our ELISA protocols. If the customer is interested in matched antibody pairs for Sandwich ELISA, or antibodies against these targets from other species than human, I would be pleased to assist in finding the most suitable ones. Please be reassured that all antibodies are covered by our Abpromise: We are happy to offer technical support, and in the event that a product is not functioning in the applications cited on the product data sheet (and the problem has been reported within 6 months of purchase), we will be pleased to provide a credit note, free of charge replacement or refund. All tested species and applications are specified on our datasheets, which are updated as soon as any new information is brought to our attention. If the customer decides to go ahead and test these products in an untested species or application, please contact our Scientific Support team prior to the purchase as they might be eligible for our testing discount program. I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
