Beta-Casomorphin (BCM)
Product Code: QA-BCM01 CAS Number: 74171-19-0 (β-Casomorphin 1-4, bovine) Sequence: YPFP (β-Casomorphin 1-4, bovine)
Overview
Beta-casomorphins (BCMs) are opioid peptides formed during enzymatic digestion of β-casein, the major milk protein. These peptides range from 4 to 11 amino acid residues and exhibit opioid-like activity by binding to μ-type opioid receptors. Multiple BCM variants including BCM-4 through BCM-11 (bovine) and human BCM-7 and BCM-8 are available from QYAOBIO.
