Application
Rennin, also known as chymosin, is a milkclotting acid proteinase produced in the stomach of a calf. It is used in cheesemaking and to study neonatal gastric digestion .
Biochem/physiol Actions
Rennin, a 323 amino acid chain, is secreted as an inactive precursor which is then converted into an active enzyme through limited proteolysis. It cleaves the peptide bond between phenylalanine and methionine in K-Casein.

Chymosin can specifically break down the Phe105-Met106 peptide bond of milk κ-casein to form insoluble para-κ-casein, resulting in milk coagulation, a process that is used in making cheese. In this study, in order to obtain an alternative milk coagulant which

Chymosin-induced coagulation of individual milk proteins during incubation at 30 °C was investigated using a proteomic approach. The addition of chymosin (0.006 units/mL) caused the milk proteins to coagulate after a 3 h incubation period. Approximately 88% of the milk

The first step in cheesemaking is the milk clotting process, in which κ-caseinolytic enzymes contribute to micelle precipitation. The best enzyme for this purpose is chymosin because of its high degree of specificity toward κ-casein. Although recombinant bovine chymosin is
