A schematic linear peptide diagram shows a segment of bovine milk β-casein (β-CN) with amino acids labeled Val–Tyr–Pro–Phe–Pro–Gly–Pro–Ile–His–Asn. In the biochemical hierarchy, the heptapeptide Tyr–Pro–Phe–Pro–Gly–Pro–Ile represents beta-casomorphin‑7 (BCM‑7), a bioactive peptide released from the parent protein during gastrointestinal proteolysis. The adjacent histidine residue characterizes the A1 variant in Bos taurus (cow). This protein is a nutrient component of milk secreted by the mammary gland, relevant to biochemistry, proteomics, and nutrition science.
