Descriptions

Casein is the predominant phosphoprotein found in fresh milk and cheese. When coagulated with rennet, casein is sometimes called paracasein. In milk, casein exists as a salt of calcium not coagulated by heat. It is precipitated by acids and by rennet, a proteolytic enzyme typically obtained from the stomachs of calves. Casein consists of a fairly high number of proline residues and it has no disulphide bridges. As a result, it has relatively little secondary or tertiary structures, thus making it difficult to be denatured. In addition, casein is relatively hydrophobic resulting in low solubility in water.

Casein is a major allergen in milk and the main protein constituent in cheese.

IgE-antibodies to casein are common in milk-sensitized patients. Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB. Source: ImmunoCap, ImmunoCap
