This suggestion isn't much better than species specific but....
If you are in class Mammalia, the caseins certainly mutate at a
rapid clip. There are (ca.) 37 entries in PIR last time I checked.
These include a number of different types of caseins, related only

of the class which would, if nothing else, make an interesting exercise.
