title: Autocrine regulation of casein turnover in goat mammary explants.
abstract: Local feedback control of milk protein secretion was investigated in goat mammary explants by measuring degradation of newly synthesized casein in the presence of a goat milk whey fraction. Reduced net synthesis of [3H]casein in the presence of the milk fraction was due, at least in part, to its degradation during secretion, suggesting that this process is under autocrine regulation.
