CONTROL OF LACTATION

摘要

The present invention provides three novel peptides identified from cow's milk and further to compositions and methods containing the same for use in the modulation of the milk secretion rate of a lactating cell. Specifically, at least one of the peptides provided by the invention can be used to control milk secretion in lactating animals, including man. The present invention further extends to antibodies directed to the peptides of the invention, said antibodies also having utility in the modulation of milk secretion.
