Casein
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Casein is an orally active phosphoprotein that can be separated into various electrophoretic components, such as α2-Casein, κ-Casein, β-casein, and γ-casein. Casein has also been blended and grafted with other polymers, cross-linkers, or monomers to improve its functional properties. Casein enhances calcium absorption and reduces the extent of fissure as well as smooth-surface caries. Casein promotes proliferation of prostate cancer. Casein has various applications in the paper, leather, textile, and food industries, serving as coatings, adhesives, and packaging materials.

Biological Activity
Casein (500 ppm, p.o., 2 weeks) enhances calcium absorption in the rat[5].
Casein (2% (w/v), in drinking water, p.o.) reduces the extent of fissure and smooth-surface caries of male Sprague-Dawley rats consuming a solid cariogenic diet[6].

Casein purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Talanta. 2025 Aug 26;297(Pt B):128747. [Abstract]
Casein (0.1 %; 400 μL) did not occupy the PBA binding sites responsible for interaction with sugar residues in TRF, as suggested by the negligible impact of increasing glucose concentrations on its blocking effect.
