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 and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) due to its naturally biocompatible and biodegradable properties.
Application
a blocking agent in immunochemistry
a substrate to determine the casinolytic activity in disintegrin and Cerastes cerastes venom
as a fining agent to test its effect on white wine protein stabilization
