Synonyms: Casein from bovine milk
MDL Number: MFCD00081481
Purity: >=90% protein dry basis
Melting Point: 280 C (dec.) (lit.)
Storage: 2-8C
Application: CaseiNSBlock alkaline treated casein is developed for use in immunoassay to remove non-specific binding and to reduce background. It is suitable for manufacturing of immunoassay buffers due to improved solubility in biological matrices compared to other forms of casein. Provides excellent blocking on all membranes and plates.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Partial gastrointestinal digestion of casein is a rich source of bioactive peptides, such as ß-casomorphin. However, bovine casein is not homogeneous; variants A1 and B do lead to production of ß-casomorphin 7 production, while A2 does not.
