Degradation of buffalo &casein by various physioIogica1 enzymes was studied. Digestion with gastric and pancreatic proteases plus leucine aminopeptidase did not release casomorphins but a putative precursor (procasomorphin) which was further digested by brush border peptidases into peptides differing from casomorphins.

Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV (DAP‐IV) (EC 3.4.14.1) was purified from meconium particles sedimenting at 105000 × g. Its molecular properties and activity on synthetic and natural substrates (casomorphin and procasomorphin) were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
