Rennin or chymosin is a protease found in rennat. It cause cleavage of a specific linkage i.e., the peptide bond between 105 and 106 phenyl alanine and methionine and K-casein the native substrate of this enzyme. Thus, its pressure helps in the conversion of milk into curd via chaging the caesin protein of milk into caesinate.
