BIOPEP-UWM: Report
| ID | 1117 |
| Name | kappa-casein gen. var. A, precursor, bovine (Bos taurus) |
| sequence |
| 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). | |

| Additional information: |
| Protein known as: allergen Bos d 8. Chain: from 22 to 190; signal peptide: from 1 to 21. Casein is one of the major milk proteins produced in mammary gland. Casein plays important role in determination of surface properties of casein micelles. Ref.: Swiss-Prot database (www.expasy.org). |
