Abstract: Gene targeting in embryonic stem cells is employed to generate beta-casein deficient mice to analyze the function of beta-casein in milk. Beta-casein is not required for essential functions and its composition change does not influence the casein micelle. Beta-casein deficiency has an indirect effect on the growth of the pups.
