General description

Casein is an amphiphilic protein.
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.

Application

Casein, Hammarsten bovine has been used as a substrate for Aplysia californica calpain to study its activity.
The product is useful as a protease substrate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Casein is useful in food industries and non-food applications. It has the property for emulsification, foam formation, and stabilization, water-binding, and gelation. Casein is also considered heat and acid-stable.
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.

Calpains are a family of intracellular proteases defined by a conserved protease domain. In the marine mollusk Aplysia californica, calpains are important for the induction of long-term synaptic plasticity and memory, at least in part by cleaving protein kinase Cs

The possible mechanism of casein aggregation and micelle buildup was studied in a new approach by letting α-casein adsorb from low concentration (0.1 mg·ml(-1)) solutions onto the charged surfaces of polyelectrolyte films. It was found that α-casein could adsorb onto

The major physiological function of milk is the transport of amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids and minerals to mammalian offspring. Caseins, the major milk proteins, are secreted in the form of a micelle consisting of protein and calcium-phosphate.We have analysed the
