While the significance of middle repetitive elements had been neglected for a long time,
there are again tendencies to ascribe most members of a given middle repetitive sequence …

The milk casein genes in goats, are highly polymorphic genes with numerous synonymous
and non-synonymous mutations. So far, 20 protein variants have been reported in goats for …

Bovine casein was hydrolysed with a range of proteolytic enzymes including pepsin, trypsin,
α-chymotrypsin and β-chymotrypsin, and assessed for antibacterial activity. The pepsin …

Retroposition is an efficient route to move coding regions around the genome 'in search'of
novel regulatory elements and to shotgun regulatory elements into the genome 'in search'of …

Extensive studies on the qualitative and quantitative aspects of milk proteins in more than
100 mammalian species have demonstrated that the protein content varies from 1 to 20 …

The polymorphisms detected in the DNA region containing milk protein genes in sheep and
goats, α-s1 and α-s2 casein, β-casein, κ-casein, β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin are …

The unusual and complex polymorphism, detected at the αs1-Cas locus has been shown to
be partly responsible for the large individual variability observed in the casein content of …

Increasing productivity is one of the main objectives in animal production. Traditional
breeding methods have led to increased gains in some traits but gains are not easily …

A large number of studies about impacts of alpha-s1 (αs1) casein (CSN1S1) gene
polymorphism on goat milk composition, including its milk fat concentration, secretion in …

In lactating mammary epithelial cells, interaction between caseins is believed to occur after
their transport out of the endoplasmic reticulum. We show here that, in αS1-casein-deficient …
