β-Casomorphins are a group of opioid peptides released during gastrointestinal digestion or
food processing from the β-casein of milk protein. Consequently, milk can be divided into A1 …

Abstract β-Casomorphin-7 (BCM-7) is a heptapeptide dietary molecule derived from the
digestion of the β-casein of dairy and dairy products. In this review, we have covered the …

Milk proteins including casein are sources of peptides with bioactivity. One of these peptides
is beta-casomorphin (BCM) which belongs to a group of opioid peptides formed from β …

β-Casomorphin-7 (BCM-7) is a peptide released through the proteolysis of β-casein (β-CN),
which is considered a bioactive peptide displaying evidence of promoting the binding and …

The genetic variant A1 of bovine β-casein (β-Cn) presents a His residue at a position 67 of
the mature protein. This feature makes the Ile66-His67 bond more vulnerable to enzymatic …

Purpose Food-derived bioactive peptides may influence important physiological functions.
An important example is beta-casomorphins, which are opioid peptides derived from A1 …

The possible adverse effect of consuming bovine milk with A1 β-casein (but not with A2 β-
casein) on health aspects due to the release of β-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7) is currently under …

Variation between bovine A1-or A2-type β-caseins are suggested to affect beta-
casomorphin-7 (BCM-7) formation, which may affect health. Studies assessing BCM-7 …
