Milk casein is a

Casein is the name for a family of related phosphoprotein proteins (αS1, αS2, β, κ). These proteins are commonly found in mammalian milk, making up 80% of the proteins in cow milk and between 60% and 65% of the proteins in human milk. Nucleoprotein Phosphoprotein Chromoprotein Glycoprotein

The regions of an antibody that determine its general role, or effector function are its

Effector functions are determined by the constant regions of the heavy chains (Fc). The effector functions of immunoglobulins are mediated by this part of the molecule. Normally the ability of an antibody to carry out an effector function requires the prior binding of an antigen. variable (v) regions constant(c) regions mutated (m) regions bifurcated (b) regions
