Can you tenderize meat with buttermilk?

Buttermilk does tenderize meat

I use buttermilk to tenderize: boneless skinless chicken breast, and boneless pork loin chops. Soak for about an hour or so. If you soak fish fillets like cod or snapper, it gets rid of all the "fishy" flavor.

IN ADDITION:

The lactic acid in buttermilk dissolves proteins in the same way monosodium glutimate (MSG) does. It makes the meat break down without the rotting process. I soak my steaks and roasts for 8-12 hours and my gamey tasting meats like some fish and venison for up to 24 hours. Just rinse off and cook.
