Casein, a family of related phosphoproteins, plays a pivotal role in various research domains, particularly in studies related to protein structure and function. Predominantly found in milk, casein accounts for nearly 80% of its protein content and serves as a critical model substance in the exploration of protein folding, aggregation, and interaction with other molecules. Its unique structure, characterized by a high proline content and lack of tertiary structure, makes it an excellent candidate for studying protein misfolding diseases, as well as the effects of phosphorylation on protein behavior. Casein′s natural ability to form micelles, which encapsulate the calcium phosphate, renders it an invaluable tool in investigating mineralization processes and the bioavailability of minerals. Moreover, casein micelles′ stability and self-assembly properties underpin research into nanocarrier systems for delivery of bioactive compounds, showcasing its broad applicability in biophysical and material science research.
