β-Lactoglobulin and Glycodelin: Two Sides of the Same Coin?

Abstract: The two lipocalins, β-lactoglobulin (βLg) and glycodelin (Gd), are possibly the most closely related members of the large and widely distributed lipocalin family, yet their functions appear to be substantially different. Indeed, the function of β-lactoglobulin, a major component of ruminant milk, is still unclear although neonatal nutrition is clearly important. On the other hand, glycodelin has several specific functions in reproduction conferred through distinct, tissue specific glycosylation of the polypept… Show more

“…PAEP, a glycodelin gene, is connected with immune infiltration. It was identified in one study as an independent significant risk factor for Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) and as one of the survival predictive prognostic markers for melanoma ( Sawyer, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2021 ; Zeng et al, 2022 ). IDE is a multifunctional protease whose main therapeutic areas are neuronal diseases and metabolism.…”

“…2 Moreover, β-LG is an efficient transporter of molecules with antioxidant and anticancer properties, including phenolic compounds, vitamins and many others. 1,[5][6][7][8] The β-LG is a major component of ruminant milk of most species, except for humans, guinea pigs, rabbits and rodents. Thus, the biological role of β-LG is considered regarding its nutritional profile and/…”
