A small camel-milk protein rich in cysteine/half-cystine

  • Published:
Bioscience Reports

Abstract

A small protein (Mr about 14 000) rich in cysteine/half-cystine has been isolated from camel milk by exclusion chromatography and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The N-terminal amino acid sequence shows a region with several positional identities with α and β-caseins, which however lack cysteine residues; postions 16–20 are identical and involve the serine residues that have been found to be phosphorylated in β-caseins.
