We have observed their expressions to be high in the lactation stage such as "caseins (alpha-S1, alpha-S2, beta, and kappa casein)" and whey proteins "beta-lactoglobulin" and "alpha-lactalbumin." Expression of the milk proteins was slightly near the end of gestation, which can be used as a symbol of the maturity of mammary epithelial cells [29].
