Glycomacropeptide

Meaning

Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is a unique, bioactive peptide derived from the enzymatic cleavage of kappa-casein, a major milk protein, during the process of cheese production. This peptide is structurally notable for its attached carbohydrate groups, or glycosylation, and its rich content of branched-chain amino acids. GMP is studied in nutritional science for its functional properties, including its potential to modulate gut health and satiety signaling.
