background:
Important role in determination of the surface properties of the casein micelles.
Function:
Kappa-casein stabilizes micelle formation, preventing casein precipitation in milk.
Casoxins A, B and C have opioid antagonist activity. Casoxin C causes biphasic ileal contractions through the binding to the complement C3a receptors.
Casoplatelin inhibits platelet aggregation.
Subunit:
Monomer or homomultimer; disulfide-linked.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Tissue Specificity:
Mammary gland specific. Secreted in milk.
Similarity:
Belongs to the kappa-casein family.
