Lactealisain

Lactealisain is a newly discovered enzyme found in mammalian milk. Its primary function is believed to be related to protein digestion and absorption within the infant digestive system. Research suggests lactealisain may play a role in breaking down complex milk proteins into smaller, more easily digestible peptides. This enzymatic activity could contribute to enhanced nutrient uptake and the overall development of the infant's gastrointestinal tract.

The precise mechanism of action and the full spectrum of lactealisain's biological activities are still under investigation. Early studies indicate that it exhibits a unique specificity for certain milk protein structures. Its presence in milk is thought to be part of the complex biological milieu that supports infant growth and immunity. Further research is ongoing to fully elucidate its biochemical properties, its developmental expression, and its potential therapeutic applications. The discovery of lactealisain opens new avenues for understanding the nutritional and physiological benefits of breast milk.
