General description

Casein from bovine milk is a phosphoprotein. 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.

Application

Casein from bovine milk has been used:
  • to prepare casein hydrolysates[1]
  • as a calibrating substance in biuret colorimetric method[2]
  • as a supplement in nutrient agar for the determination of protease activity[3]
  • to prepare protein-enriched diet for independent replicate lines of D. melanogaster[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

  4. What is the molecular weight of the casein subunits in Product C5890, Casein from bovine milk?

    1 answer
    1. The alpha-s1 = 22-23.7 kDa, alpha-s2 = 25 kDa, beta = 24 kDa and kappa = 19 kDa.

      Helpful?

  5. How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?

    1 answer
    1. The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.
