Identification of the ovine keratin-associated protein KAP1-2 gene (KRTAP1-2)
(John Wiley and Sons, 2011)
Abstract: Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are a major component of wool and other keratin-containing tissues. While four KAP1-n proteins have been identified in sheep, only three genes have been described encoding KAP1-1, ...
Genetic variation in the 5'UTR of the KRT2.13 gene of sheep
(Wiley on behalf of the Japanese Society of Animal Science, 2012-03)
KRT2.13 is a type II keratin wool intermediate filament (IF) protein. Extensive variation was revealed in the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of the ovine KRT2.13 gene (KRT2.13) using polymerase chain reaction – single strand ...
Halplotypes of the ovine ADRB3 gene (ADRB3) and their association with post-weaning growth in New Zealand Suffolk sheep
(Springer Netherlands, 2013-08)
The β3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) regulates thermogenesis and lipolysis in brown and white adipose tissue. Previously, sixteen ovine ADRB3 haplotypes have been defined. In this study, the relationship between these ADRB3 ...
Haplotyping using a combination of polymerase chain reaction–single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis and haplotype-specific PCR amplification
(Elsevier, 2014-12-01)
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) may have an impact on phenotype, but it may also be influenced by multiple SNPs within a gene; hence, the haplotype or phase of multiple SNPs needs to be known. Various methods for ...
Identification of allelic polymorphism in the ovine leptin gene
(Springer, 2009)
Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone/cytokine that influences the physiological control of numerous biological functions and links nutritional status with both neuroendocrine and immune functions. In livestock, variation ...
Identification of the ovine KAP11-1 gene (KRTAP11-1) and genetic variation in its coding sequence
(Springer, 2011)
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are a structural component of the wool fibre and form the matrix between the keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs). The gene encoding high sulphur-protein KAP11-1 has been identified in ...
Two single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter of the ovine myostatin gene (MSTN) and their effect on growth and carcass muscle traits in New Zealand Romney sheep
(Wiley, 2016-06)
Myostatin is a negative regulator of muscle growth and development in mammals, and variation in ovine myostatin gene (MSTN) has been demonstrated to be associated with variation in the muscularity of sheep. Polymerase chain ...
Polymorphism of the ovine keratin-associated protein 1-4 gene (KRTAP1-4)
(2010-10-01)
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are one of the main structural components of the wool fibre and form a semi-rigid matrix in which the keratin intermediate filaments are embedded. Variation in the KAP genes may affect ...
