Human milk, on the other hand, contains only 2 caseins, beta and kappa.
Beta-casein is the major casein in human milk, accounting for as much as 30% of its total protein mass.
In addition to being the primary source of essential amino acids, beta-casein, in concert with kappa-casein, forms micelles that transport calcium and phosphorus to the developing infant.
The N-terminal phosphoserine/phosphothreonine amino acids of beta-casein are crucial to the biologic function of the molecule, and variations in their number could affect the overall quality of milk.
