It is generally accepted that milk and milk-based products constitute a valuable source of dietary protein. In the last few years considerable advances have been made in understanding the chemistry of milk proteins and in particular in the elucidation of their primary chemical structures so that it is now possible to examine this general conclusion concerning the worth of milk proteins, their v...

This study aimed to characterize the role of phosphorylation of caseins in selective allergy to goat milk (GM) and sheep milk (SM) in patients with good tolerance to cow milk (CM). We performed skin prick tests with milk and caseins from CM, GM, and SM and immunoblotting and specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E determinations with milk and casein from cow and GM and SM. Sensitization to milk and case...

Received 18 November 1997; accepted 27 June 1998) The procedure for phenotyping of most genetic variants in cow milk was optimised for iso-electric focusing (IEF) of camel milk proteins and milk from individual camels of different breeds was screened. The caseins obtained from IEF bands were also investigated by Nterminal sequencing. Camel milk casein was separated at different pH and the prote...

The provision of essential and non-essential amino acids for breast-fed infants is the major function of milk proteins. In addition, breast-fed infants might benefit from bioactivities of milk proteins, which are exhibited in the intestine during the digestive phase and by absorption of intact proteins or derived peptides. For lactoferrin, osteopontin and milk fat globule membrane proteins/lipi...

The development of transgenic cloned animals offers new opportunities for agriculture, biomedicine and environmental science. Expressing recombinant proteins in dairy animals to alter their milk composition is considered beneficial for human health. However, relatively little is known about the expression profile of the proteins in milk derived from transgenic cloned animals. In this study, we ...

There is no need to catalogue the nutritional properties of milk as the value of the proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc., in milk is well known and accepted, and the beneficial effects resulting from the ingestion of these compounds have long been described. The protein of milk is still used in the treatment of malnutrition in children both in hospital and in large communities. It is routine adv...

Caseins, which are contained in milk, play a significant role the development of clinical symptoms allergic reactions adults and children. To date, properties caseins have been studied, their primary structure has identified. However, despite available scientific reviews original articles, an issue structural organization milk casein micelles biological functions is still very controversial. In...

Sci., Supplement 2, 19: 197–200 αs1-casein, κ-casein and β-lactoglobulin show comparatively the highest polymorphism among the bovine milk proteins. Therefore, they have been extensively investigated in respect to identif...
