Influence of the β-Casein Genotype of Cow’s Milk (A1, A2) on the Quality and β-Casomorphin-7 (BCM-7) Content of a Semi-Hard Cheese During Production [PDF]
FoodsCow’s milk contains A1- and A2-β-caseins. The breakdown of A1-β-casein produces β-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7), a peptide with opioid-like properties that is associated with health aspects.

A1 and A2 milk caseins-comparative FTIR and spectroflourimetry analysis
Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2021 Around 35% of the total caseins are β-caseins, which are further classified as A1 β-caseins and A2 β-caseins, based on differences in the amino acid composition of both. A2 is the wild type genetic variant of β-casein while A1 is the mutant.
