Also known as CASB, casein beta, PDC213
Beta-casein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CSN2 gene. It is in the class of phosphoproteins and generally occurs in mammalian milk.
This gene is a member of the beta casein family. There are two types of casein protein, beta (encoded by this gene) and kappa, both of which are secreted in human milk. Beta casein is the principal protein in human milk and the primary source of essential amino acids for a suckling infant. Beta and kappa casein proteins acting together form spherical micelles which bind within them important dietary minerals, such as calcium and phosphorous. In addition, the C-terminal 14 aa of the protein has antimicrobial activity, especially in preterm milk, displaying antibacterial activity against S. aureus and Y. enterocolitica. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020].
