Biological activity
of bovine kappa-caseino glycomacropeptide (GMP) has received much
attention in recent years. Research has focused on the ability of
GMP to bind cholera and Escherichia coli enterotoxins, inhibit bacterial
and viral adhesion, suppress gastric secretions, promote bifidobacterial
growth and modulate immune system responses. Of these, protection
against toxins, bacteria, and viruses and modulation of the immune
system are the most promising applications.
