Dataset reporting 4654 cow milk proteins listed according to lactation stages and milk fractions.

ABSTRACT: Milk contains numerous proteins including bioactive molecules that may be important in human nutrition. Thanks to improvements in proteomic methods, hundreds of proteins identified in milk are available through open data from different publications. We gathered these public data to produce an atlas reporting the cow milk proteins. We aggregated data from 20 publications reporting milk proteome and produced an atlas of 4654 unique proteins detected in milk from healthy cows. In this atlas, proteins are categorized according to four milk fractions: skimmed milk, whey, milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) and exosomes; and five lactation stages: colostrum period, early lactation, peak of lactation, mid-lactation and drying-off. These 9 protein lists were compared and annotated by Gene Ontology (
