A region spanning 25 kb of genomic DNA containing the kappa-casein gene, has been isolated from two genomic libraries in EMBL3 and EMBL4 phage vectors. Five phage clones containing kappa-casein gene have been found. Gene organisation has been determined using restriction mapping and a partial sequencing the 5' and 3' flanking regions. The kappa-casein gene includes 5 exons, the first of them coding for 64 nucleotides from the 5' untranslated mRNA zone. The gene is 12.5 kb long, which is almost 16 times longer than the corresponding mRNA. The first intron spans 2.5 kb, the second is the largest one and spans 5.5 kb. The 5' flanking region sequence has been analysed; it contains a TATA box from -30 to -25 bp, somewhat different from the canonic sequence, and a CAAT box at -80 bp.

The protein ingredient quality of infant formula influences colonic physiology and microbiota and the serum metabolomic profile in neonatal mini-piglets.

Despite the WHO recommendations in favor of breastfeeding, most infants receive infant formulas (IFs), which are complex matrices involving numerous ingredients and processing steps. Our aim was to understand the impact of the quality of the protein ingredient in IFs on gut microbiota and physiology, blood metabolites and brain gene expression. Three IFs were produced using whey proteins (WPs) from cheese whey (IF-A) or ideal whey (IFs-C and -D) and caseins, either in a micellar form (IFs-A and -C) or partly in a non-micellar form (IF-D).

Curzerenone is a major component of the traditional herbal medicine Curcumae Rhizoma with potential cancer-suppressing effects. This study aims to investigate the treatment effect of Curzerenone on cervical cancer cells and the underpinning mechanism. HeLa and SiHa cells were treated with Curzerenone.

This study investigated the ability of Phyllanthus emblica encapsulated within chitosan-coated casein (CS-casein-Amla) nanoparticles to inhibit the growth of multi-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacteria and prevent the formation of biofilms. The MDR strains underwent screening, and the morphological characteristics of the resulting nanoparticles were assessed using SEM, DLS, and FTIR.

κ-casein () polymorphisms are closely related to productive performance and dairy processing performance. In this study, 3'UTR polymorphisms in Chinese Holstein cows (n = 50) and the effects of these polymorphisms on the gene expression of four caseins, the protein expression of κ-casein, the binding of microRNAs (miRNAs), and cow production performance were investigated. There were two main haplotypes for the 3'UTR in Chinese Holstein cows: Haplotype 1 (0 mutations, n = 16) and Haplotype 10 (a combination of 7 mutations, n = 17).

Background: Calgranulin B () was found to be strongly associated with milk protein percentage in dairy cattle in our previous genome-wide association study.
Methods: SNPs in were identified via pooled sequencing, and genotyping of 1054 cows was performed individually using MassArray with MALDI-TOFMS technology. Association analyses between the SNPs and five milk production traits were conducted using SAS 9.
