Front Cover: KFP ‐1, a Novel Calcium‐Binding Peptide Isolated from Kefir, Promotes Calcium Influx Through TRPV6 Channels

Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2021,65,202100182DOI:10.1002/mnfr.202100182A novel kefir-fermented peptide (KFP-1) is identified as a calcium-binding peptide with the function to enhance intestinal calcium absorption through TRPV6 channels. This KFP-1 peptide exhibits the potential as a nutraceutical additive to alleviate the condition of calcium deficiency and the osteoporosis-related illnesses. This is reported by Hueng-Chuen Fan, Chuan-Mu Chen, and co-workers in article number2100182.
