However, kappa casein is a distinctly different molecule - it is not calcium-precipitable. As the caseins are secreted, they self-associate into aggregates called micelles in which the alpha and beta caseins are kept from precipitating by their interactions with kappa casein. In essence, kappa casein normally keeps the majority of milk protein soluble and prevents it from spontaneously coagulating.
