Lactalbumin, alpha-, also known as LALBA, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LALBA gene.

α-Lactalbumin is a protein present in the milk of almost all mammalian species. In primates, alpha-lactalbumin expression is upregulated in response to the hormone prolactin and increases the production of lactose.
