Alpha-lactalbumin is a whey protein found in the milk of most mammals, including humans and cows. An Alpha-Lactalbumin Allergy Test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies directed against this protein, helping to identify whether an immune response to it is present.

About Alpha-Lactalbumin Allergy Test | Milk in Orem

Alpha-lactalbumin is one of the primary proteins in human milk and is also present in cow's milk, where it accounts for a notable share of the whey fraction.

Because alpha-lactalbumin is a whey protein, it remains soluble when milk is curdled and is not removed by the separation of casein. This means it can persist in many dairy-derived products and in whey-based ingredients.

An IgE-mediated allergy to alpha-lactalbumin occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies the protein as a threat and produces antibodies against it. Subsequent exposure can trigger the release of histamine and other mediators, which may lead to symptoms affecting the skin, digestive tract, or respiratory system.

Testing for specific IgE against alpha-lactalbumin is one component of a broader evaluation of milk allergy. Results are interpreted alongside clinical history and, when appropriate, other diagnostic findings, since the presence of antibodies alone does not confirm that symptoms will occur.
