General description
Casein, a phosphoprotein, is the principal protein component of milk which is almost entirely expressed in the lactating mammary gland. In bovine milk they are classified according to their calcium sensitivity: αs1-, αs2-, and β-caseins precipitate in the presence of calcium; whereas κ-casein remains in solution.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Partial gastrointestinal digestion of casein is a rich source of bioactive peptides, such as β-casomorphin. However, bovine casein is not homogeneous; variants A1 and B do lead to production of β-casomorphin 7 production, while A2 does not.
