-Casein-Like Proteins from Milks of Various Species1Department of Biochemistry, University of Minnesota, St. Paul 55108
ABSTRACT
-Casein-like proteins were isolated from the milks of cow, goat, reindeer, horse, rat, and rabbit. When treated with rennin, all of the isolated
-casein components yielded para-
-casein-like bands on gel electrophoresis. The rate of cleavage of these components with rennin was determined by measuring material soluble in trichloroacetic acid (macropeptide). The curves were characteristic of a limited, specific attack by rennin on these proteins. The goat and reindeer
-caseins were nearly as sensitive to cleavage by rennin as bovine
-casein, but the cleavage of horse, rat, and rabbit
-casein-like components was much slower.
