| casein | <protein> Group of proteins isolated from milk. _s and _ caseins are amphipathic polypeptides of around 200 amino acids with substantial hydrophobic C terminal domains that associate to give micellar polymers in divalent cation rich medium. _ casein is a glycoprotein rather different from _ and _ casein. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| casein hydrolysate | <biochemistry> A breakdown product which occurs when casein, a protein found in milk, is broken down by enzymes or acids. (09 Oct 1997) |
| casein kinase | <enzyme> Cyclic AMP has no effect; aspect of protein kinase, EC 2.7.1.37; there is a separate record for casein kinase II Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: casein kinase I, casein kinase ts, casein g kinase, kappa casein kinase, g-box binding factor 1 kinase, gbf1 kinase, t-antigen kinase, orb5 gene product, protein kinase ck1, protein kinase cki, casein kinase ialpha, casein kinase ibeta, casein kinase igamma, yck1 protein, yck2 protein, yck3 gene product, casein kinase 1 epsilon, casein kinase 1 delta (26 Jun 1999) |
| caseinase | <enzyme> See also record for caseinase c Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: clostridium perfringens lambda toxin (26 Jun 1999) |
| caseinate | A salt of casein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caseinogen | "Soluble" or kappa-casein which, when acted upon by rennin, is converted into paracasein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caseins | A mixture of related phosphoproteins occurring in milk and cheese. The group is characterised as one of the most nutritive milk proteins, containing all of the common amino acids and rich in the essential ones. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Philopia casei | A species that may cause temporary intestinal myiasis. Synonym: cheese maggot. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Piophila casei | The cheese fly, a species of muscoid flies whose eggs are deposited on exposed cheese, cured meats, and other foods and are thus ingested, sometimes giving rise to temporary intestinal myiasis, with diarrhoea, colicky pains, and vomiting. Origin: L., fr. G. Pion, fat, + philos, fond; L. Caseus, cheese (05 Mar 2000) |
| fermentation Lactobacillus casei factor | Pteroyl-gamma-glutamyl-gamma-glutamylglutamic acid;a folic acid conjugate, a principle chemically similar to folic acid except that it contains three molecules of glutamic acid instead of one, in g linkage. Synonym: fermentation Lactobacillus casei factor, pteroyltriglutamic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lactobacillus casei | A rod-shaped bacterium isolated from milk and cheese, dairy products and dairy environments, sour dough, cow dung, silage, and human mouth, human intestinal contents and stools, and the human vagina. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Lactobacillus casei factor | <biochemistry> Pteridine derivative that is abundant in liver and green plants and is a growth factor for some bacteria. The biochemically active form is tetrahydrofolate (see folate). (12 Nov 1997) |
| liver Lactobacillus casei factor | <biochemistry> Pteridine derivative that is abundant in liver and green plants and is a growth factor for some bacteria. The biochemically active form is tetrahydrofolate (see folate). (12 Nov 1997) |
