β-Lactoglobulin was used in the identification of the genetic variants of κ-casein in milk by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis.
β-Lactoglobulin A can be used as a standard in order to monitor the performance of the protein sequencer.

A member of the lipocalin family, βLg is a small protein of 162 amino acids with a molecular mass of ~18,400 Da, featuring an eight-stranded β-barrel (strands A-H) succeeded by a three-turn a-helix and a final β-strand (strand I) that forms part of the dimerization interface.
β-Lactoglobulin (β-lg) possesses heat-set gelation properties. It also exhibits antiviral, anticarcinogenic and hypocholesterolemic effects. β-lg can bind to retinol?and?long-chain fatty acids. It may participate in the absorption and metabolism of fatty acids.
