== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LACB_CAPHI LACB_CAPHI] Primary component of whey, it binds retinol and is probably involved in the transport of that molecule.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
beta-Lactoglobulin (betalg) is the most abundant whey protein in the milks of ruminant animals. While bovine betalg has been subjected to a vast array of studies, little is known about the caprine ortholog. We present an ultra-high resolution crystal structure of caprine betalg complemented by analytical ultracentrifugation and small-angle X-ray scattering data. In both solution and crystalline states caprine betalg is dimeric (KD&lt;5muM); however, our data suggest a flexible quaternary arrangement of subunits within the dimer. These structural findings will provide insight into relationships among structural, processing, nutritional and immunological characteristics that distinguish cow's and goat's milk.
