Functional narrative |
Important role in determination of the surface properties of the casein micelles. Casoparan (residues 41 - 45) acts as a macrophage activator, increasing the phagocytic activity of macrophages and peroxide release from macrophages. It also acts as a bradykinin-potentiating peptide. Casohypotensin (residues 129 - 136) acts as a bradykinin-potentiating peptide. Induces hypotension in rats. Acts as a strong competitive inhibitor of endo-oligopeptidase A. Antioxidant peptide (residues 113 - 120) has antioxidant activity.

Comments |
For disorder region 2, there is some evidence of secondary structure throughout. This needs to be looked at more carefully because different papers report different areas of secondary structure. Also, since the disorder appears in the cleavage products, separate entries may need to be created for these as well.
Cleavage products will be added after the locations of secondary structure are figured out.
