A new casomorphin pentapeptide (alpha S1-casomorphin) has been isolated from the sequence of human alpha S1-casein [alpha S1-casein-(158-162)], with the sequence Tyr-Val-Pro-Phe-Pro. This peptide was found to bind with high affinity to all three subtypes of the kappa-opioid receptor (kappa 1-kappa 2). When amidated at the C-terminus, alpha S1-casomorphin amide binds to the delta- and kappa 3-opioid sites. Both alpha S1-casomorphin and its amide inhibit in a dose-dependent and reversible manner the proliferation of T47D human breast cancer cells. This anti-proliferative activity was greater for alpha S1-casomorphin, which was the most potent opioid in inhibiting T47D cell proliferation. In T47D breast cancer cells, other casomorphins have been found to bind to somatostatin receptors in addition to opioid sites. In contrast, alpha S1-casomorphin and its amide do not interact with somatostatin receptors in our system.

Identification of a novel opioid peptide (Tyr-Val-Pro-Phe-Pro) derived from human αS1 casein (αS1-casomorphin, and αS1-casomorphin amide)
