Identification of octopus peptide and its promotion of β‐casein synthesis in a mouse mammary epithelial cell line

Octopus protein hydrolysate has been reported to increase milk yield and milk protein production. In this paper, the utilization and underlying mechanisms of bioactive peptide fractions from octopus protein hydrolysate on β-casein expression in mouse mammary epithelial cells (HC11) were investigated. Fraction OPH3-1 significantly stimulated cell proliferation and β-casein synthesis in HC11 cells, which was purified by ultra-filtration and...
