Research Progress of Dairy Cow Milk Protein Synthesis Regulation

Because the ideal amino acid content and composition,nutritional value of milk protein is very high.In addition to a small part from the blood,most of the protein in milk are synthesized in the mammary epithelial cells using amino acid or small peptide from the blood.Content and composition of milk protein will affect the milk nutritional and physiological characteristics and dairy production. Better understand the regulation mechanism of milk protein synthesis could help us to raise the protein content in milk by nutrition strategies.Therefore,the regulation of milk protein synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells is reviewed.
