The enzyme hydrolyzes casein to paracasein. It clots milk by cleaving a single 104-Ser-Phe-|-Met-Ala-107 bond in kappa-chain of casein (similar activity to pepsin A). The protein is produced in the mucosa of the abomasum (fourth stomach) of young (unweaned or suckling) cattle. The enzyme is used in cheese manufacturing to coagulate milk due to its high milk-clotting and low proteolytic activities.
