LACTBL1
Description
The LACTBL1 (lactamase beta like 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
LACTB1 is a gene that encodes a protein known as lactase-like protein. This protein is found in the small intestine and shares structural similarities with lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose. However, LACTB1 itself does not have enzymatic activity and its exact function remains unclear. It is speculated to play a role in regulating lactase activity, intestinal epithelial cell development, or cell signaling.
LACTB1, also known as lactase-like protein, is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed in the small intestine. Although it shares structural similarities with lactase, it does not possess enzymatic activity. Its exact function remains unclear, but it is speculated to play a role in regulating lactase activity, intestinal epithelial cell development, or cell signaling. Studies suggest that LACTB1 may interact with other proteins involved in intestinal function, but further research is needed to fully understand its role.
LACTBL1 is also known as -.
