What Wikipedia says

Lactoferrin (LF), also known as lactotransferrin (LTF), is a multifunctional protein found in milk and mucus which is encoded by the LTF gene in humans. It functions as an antimicrobial protein and affects the body's immune response in a complex way, with both pro- and anti-inflammatory effects.
