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.
