Function:
Kappa-casein stabilizes micelle formation, preventing casein precipitation in milk. Casoxins A, B and C have opioid antagonist activity. Casoxin C causes biphasic ileal contractions through the binding to the complement C3a receptors. Casoplatelin inhibits platelet aggregation. Ref.: Swiss-Prot database (www.expasy.org).
