Highly phosphorylated casein with a low molecular mass was isolated from Haflinger mare’s milk by RP-HPLC. It accounts for 4.0% of the casein content. Its mass was determined by LCESI- MS before and after treatment by alkaline phosphatase. The molecular mass found for the apo-form (10 591 6 2 Da) is in agreement with its primary structure, which was established by ESI-MS/MS from tryptic peptides. It appeared that this short protein (94 amino acid residues) is an internally truncated form of the full-length equine b-casein (226 residues). This low-Mr variant of equine b-casein displays a large deletion (residues 50–181), due to a cryptic splice site usage occurring within exon 7 during the course of primary transcripts processing. The phosphorylation pattern of this equine b-casein variant was investigated by LC-ESI-MS and 2-DE. Seven phosphorylation forms were identified with one to seven phosphate groups with pIs ranging between 4.67 and 4.01. The major isoforms carry five and six phosphate groups
