High impact information on Csn3

  • In view of the extreme structural conservation of the casein locus, as well as the phenotype of Csnk-/- females, we propose that the organization of a functional kappa-casein gene would have been one of the critical events in the evolution of mammals [1].
  • To understand the role of kappa-casein in lactation, we have created and characterized a null mouse strain (Csnk-/-) lacking this gene [1].
  • Nucleotide sequences for the kappa-casein precursor proteins have been determined from the genomic DNAs or hair roots of the Ruminantia [2].
