Milk protein is hydrolyzed by
renin
amylase
lipase
lactase
pepsin

Explanation

There are two common ways of achieving hydrolysis of milk proteins. You can either boil in a strong acid/ base for a very long time, or use an enzyme like PANCREATIC PROTEASE to simulate hydrolysis naturally. Pepsin is an example of pancreatic proteases.
