Casein is the primary emulsifier in milk, that is, it helps in mixing oils, fats, and water in milk. [3] Casein has a wide variety of uses, from being a major component of cheese, to use as a food additive. [4] The most common form of casein is sodium caseinate (historically called nutrose), which is a very efficient emulsifier.
Κ-casein, or kappa casein, is a mammalian milk protein involved in several important physiological processes. Chymosin (found in rennet ) splits K-casein into an insoluble peptide (para kappa-casein) and water-soluble glycomacropeptide (GMP).
Casein kinase I isoform epsilon or CK1ε, is an enzyme that is encoded by the CSNK1E gene in humans. [5] [6] It is the mammalian homolog of doubletime.CK1ε is a serine/threonine protein kinase and is very highly conserved; therefore, this kinase is very similar to other members of the casein kinase 1 family, [7] of which there are seven mammalian isoforms (α, β, γ1, γ2, γ3, δ and ε). [8]
The Casein kinase 1 family (EC 2.7.11.1) of protein kinases are serine/threonine-selective enzymes that function as regulators of signal transduction pathways in most eukaryotic cell types. CK1 isoforms are involved in Wnt signaling , circadian rhythms, nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling of transcription factors, DNA repair, and DNA transcription.
While African and Asian cattle continue to produce only A2 beta-casein, the A1 version of the protein is common among cattle in the western world. [9] The A1 beta-casein type is the most common type found in cow's milk in Europe (excluding France), the US, Australia and New Zealand.
Casein molecule. Calcium caseinate is one of several milk proteins derived from casein in skim and 1% milk. Calcium caseinate has a papery, sweet and overall bland flavor, and is primarily used in meal preparation and fat breakdown. [1] Caseinates are produced by adding an alkali to another derivative of casein
Beta-casein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CSN2 gene. [5] [6] It is in the class of phosphoproteins and generally occurs in mammalian milk. References
Cheese is a type of dairy product produced in a range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk (usually the milk of cows , buffalo , goats or sheep ).
