CAAP(Calcium Absorption Peptide) is an artificially designed peptide to promote calcium absorption of intestinal epithelial cells. The sequence design of CAAP is based on calcium-binding peptides, a class of oligopeptides capable of chelating calcium, which have been found in hen egg yolk, cow milk casein, whey, soy, wheat germ and tilapia fish, etc. They have drawn a great deal of attention from researchers for their ability to promote calcium uptake in Caco-2 cells, indicating that they could function as a novel kind of nutritional supplementary with high efficiency to help address the calcium deficiency problem nowadays, especially for the elderly. Moreover, the biosafety of these oligopeptides can be guaranteed because they are derived from natural plant or animal food.

   CAAP(Calcium Absorption Peptide) is an artificially designed peptide to promote calcium absorption of intestinal epithelial cells. The sequence design of CAAP is based on calcium-binding peptides, a class of oligopeptides capable of chelating calcium, which have been found in hen egg yolk, cow milk casein, whey, soy, wheat germ and tilapia fish, etc. They have drawn a great deal of attention from researchers for their ability to promote calcium uptake in Caco-2 cells, indicating that they could function as a novel kind of nutritional supplementary with high efficiency to help address the calcium deficiency problem nowadays, especially for the elderly. Moreover, the biosafety of these oligopeptides can be guaranteed because they are derived from natural plant or animal food.
   The whole sequence of CAAP contains 5 different calcium-binding peptides: GPAGPHGPVG, FDHIVY, YQEPVIAPKL[1], NDEELNK[2], and DHTKE[3], which are all experimentally proved to increase calcium absorption prominently either in vivo or in vitro. After calcium ion is spontaneously bound to the Asp or Glu residue of the peptides, the calcium-peptide complex can facilitate the calcium influx into the cytoplasm of intestinal epithelial cells.
   To efficiently express CAAP in the engineered strains(E.coli) and allow them to play a role when secreted into the extracellular space, sequences of the 5 mentioned oligopeptides are linked together through FR junctions(Phe-Arg).
