Effects of 'casoparan', a peptide isolated from casein hydrolysates with mastoparan-like properties
CASEIN, a protein found in milk of several species, is divided into different chains from 19 to 25 kDa. Casein is also considered as a source of amino acids and generating peptides with biological activities such as opiate, immunostimulating, antibacterial, peptidase inhibitors, among others.
