乳铁蛋白的最新研究进展

乳铁蛋白（Lactoferrin,简称Lf)主要存在于哺乳动物的各种外分泌物中，乳中的含量最高。Lf不仅具有广谱的力性质，而且还能够增强机体的抗病毒，抗癌能力和免疫能力，防治感染性疾病，作为一种新型的具有抗菌性质的蛋白质。Lf有望作为新一代功能性疗效食品的功能组分。本文主要综述了乳铁蛋白的基本性质，功能特性及其一些最新的研究进展，并对牛初乳中乳铁蛋白的开发利用进行了展望。

Recent Researches and Progresses of Lactoferrin

Lactoferrin mainly exists in numerous exocrine secretions of mammals,and its content in milk is the highest.Lactoferrin not only has br oad spectrumof antimicrobial properties,but also has the ability to imp rove antiviral activity,anticancer activity,and immunoregulatory activity of the body to prevent and cure infe ctious disease.As a newtype of antimicrobi al protein,Lactoferrion is hopeful to be a functional ingredient of newf unc-tional and curative foods.In this paper it maily summed up essential prop erties,functions and recent researches progresses,and prospects of the dev elopment of Lactoferrin existed in b ovine colostrums.
