β-Lactoglobulin is a small protein, soluble in dilute salt solution as befits a globulin, with 162 amino acid residues (Mr ∼18,400) that fold up into an 8-stranded, antiparallel β-barrel with a 3-turn α-helix on the outer surface and a ninth β-strand flanking the first strand. | β-Lactoglobulin is a small protein, soluble in dilute salt solution as befits a globulin, with 162 amino acid residues (Mr ∼18,400) that fold up into an 8-stranded, antiparallel β-barrel with a 3-turn α-helix on the outer surface and a ninth β-strand flanking the first strand. | ||

Lipocalins are typically small (160-180 residues in length), extracellular proteins sharing several common molecular recognition properties: the binding of small, principally hydrophobic molecules (such as retinol); binding to specific cell-surface receptors; and the formation of covalent and non-covalent complexes with other soluble macromolecules. Although they have been classified mainly as transport proteins | β-Lactoglobulin belongs to the calycin superfamily and Lipocalin family.
