casomorphin

Casomorphin is a peptide sequence that is found in whey protein called casein, and which can be addictive to humans and cause an opiate effect. All proteins are chains of amino acids. In the human digestive system, these proteins are chopped up into small segments of amino acid sequences. When casein is broken down by this mechanism, casomorphin is one of the small sequences produced. This sequence travels to the brain, where it may bind to opiate receptors and cause an effect similiar to that produced by endorphins and the other similiar peptides.
