Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 the plot thickens....I just found a study wherein they were studying the proteins in sheeps' milk and they do mention alpha s-1, although I have no idea if it's the same as cow's A1, since there are several variants of the different types. The article is too technical for me, but here it is if anyone's interested: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Ovine Casein Genes Detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism http://jds.fass.org/cgi/content/full/87/8/2606#RICHARDSON-AND-CREAMER-1976 I think the author of the article I posted earlier eluded to the fact sheep and goat milk do not contain the same A1 as in cow's milk, but I don't know the exact AA sequence of the caseins of either, although I did find a list of the aa's contained in ovine (sheep) beta 1 and 2 caseins.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi , Not a weird question at all. All animal milk -- including human milk -- has casein. HOWEVER, it is generally only *bovine* (cow) casein that causes problems for our kids. Sheep and goat milk casein apparently have a molecular structure that is similar to that in human milk, so it is easier to metabolize, and less likely to cause allergic reactions. That's why many children who are allergic to cows' milk are given goat or sheep milk instead. HTH, Donna > > Hey Listmates. I might have a question that sounds > weird.
