Casein

• Description :

  Casein is an orally active phosphoprotein that can be separated into various electrophoretic components, such as α2-Casein, κ-Casein, β-casein, and γ-casein. Casein has also been blended and grafted with other polymers, cross-linkers, or monomers to improve its functional properties. Casein enhances calcium absorption and reduces the extent of fissure as well as smooth-surface caries. Casein promotes proliferation of prostate cancer. Casein has various applications in the paper, leather, textile, and food industries, serving as coatings, adhesives, and packaging materials[1][2][3][4][5][6].
