용도α-Casein from bovine milk is an Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding epitope belonging to the Casein phosphoprotein family. It has been used in studies of children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), due to the strong cross-reactivity of α-casein antibodies with insulin. Studies of children displaying (IDDM) show higher levels of α-casein antibodies than control siblings, which may serve as a risk marker for IDDM.

일반 설명Casein from bovine milk is a phosphoprotein and forms three-dimensional colloidal supramolecular micelles. There are four main types of casein which make up approximately 80% of the total protein in bovine milk: α-s1 casein, α-s2 casein, β-casein, and κ-casein. Casein is proposed to be the main protective constituent in milk. Casein is an amphiphilic protein.

생산 방법casein is a form of concentrated casein protein (one of the two major proteins found in milk) and is derived from skim milk. Depending on the method of manufacture. casein is classified as rennet casein or acid casein. In the production of rennet casein. skim milk is treated with an enzyme that causes the casein to coagulate and separate from other milk components. Acid casein is produced when skim milk is exposed to an acid treatment which causes the protein to precipitate out from other milk components. Both rennet and acid casein are high- protein products with protein concentrations from 85 to 90 percent. Both rennet and acid casein also contain very little whey protein and therefore cannot be classified as MPC. All forms of casein arc classified tinder HTS subheading 3501.10.50. Imports of casein enter the United States free of duty. The US. market for casein is served almost exclusively by imports. casein production recently began in the United States. although is not yet commercially significant. Unlike imported casein. which is produced from fresh. liquid skim milk, U.S. production of casein uses reconstituted SMP as the starting ingredient.
