Casein is the name for a family of related phosphoproteins. These proteins are commonly found in mammalian milk, making up 80% of the proteins in cow milk and between 20% and 45% of the proteins in human milk. Casein has a wide variety of uses, from being a major component of cheese, to use as a food additive, to a binder for safety matches. As a food source, casein supplies amino acids, carbohydrates, and two inorganic elements, calcium and phosphorus. Casein from bovine milk is a phosphoprotein. There are four main types of casein which make up approximately 80% of the total protein in bovine milk: _-s1 casein, _-s2 casein, _-casein, and _-casein. Casein is proposed to be the main protective constituent in milk.
