Bovine-Specific Nucleotide Polymorphisms and mRNA Expression of the Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor 1a (GHSR1a) Gene and its Genetic Association with Growth and Carcass Traits
Abstract:The growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a) is involved in many important functions including growth hormone (GH) secretion and appetite regulation and other important functions. We reveal herein, the unravelling of bovine-specific 5'untranslated region (5'UTR) microsatellite polymorphisms, a 3bp-indel in exon 1 (DelR242) and two different kinds of transcripts of the GHSR1a gene (spliced, without a microsatellite with in the 5'UTR (GHSR1a); and non-spliced, with the microsatellite (GHSR1b)). A number … Show more
