Kappa casein (κ-CN) is milk protein that determines the size and specific function of the caseinmicelles, and its clevage by chymosine is responsible for milk coagulation. Any variation in genepromoter or coding sequence may change the expression of the gene or amino acid sequence,effecting function...
