Purification and characterization of four components of rat caseins. 1981

M Hirose, and T Kato, and K Omori, and M Takeuchi, and M Yoshikawa, and R Sasaki, and H Chiba

Rat casein components (C1-, C3A-, C3B- and C4-casein) were extensively purified from rat milk, and the properties of these proteins were compared with those of other caseins including rat C2-casein. C1-casein was precipitated by a low concentration of CaCl2 (1.5 mM). Both C3A- and C3B-casein were less sensitive to Ca2+ than were C1- and C2-casein, and the presence of 20 mM CaCl2 was required at 37 degrees C for their precipitation. C4-casein was absolutely insensitive to Ca2+. This protein exhibited the ability to stabilize all of the other rat casein components against Ca2+-dependent precipitation. In addition, C4-casein contained sialic acid, galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine. Therefore, C4-casein appears to be a bovine kappa-casein-like protein.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
