b-casomorphin (1-7), bovine – 1 mg

Overview

b-Casomorphin (1-7) is a specialized peptide derived from bovine beta-casein, specifically from fragment 60-66. This unique milk opioid peptide plays a significant role in stimulating mucin secretion in the rat jejunum by activating a nervous pathway through mu-opioid receptors. Its specific sequence, featuring the Tyr-Pro aromatic structure, allows it to selectively engage with mu receptors, while the proline-rich composition enhances its resistance to degradation in the gastrointestinal tract.

Key Features

• Derived from bovine beta-casein
• Stimulates mucin secretion effectively
• Engages mu-opioid receptors selectively
• Highly resistant to gastrointestinal enzymes
• Available in a convenient 1 mg format
