Abstract:POU1F1 gene controls cell differentiation and animal growth by binding to target DNA promoter sequence, thereby auto-regulating its own expression and expression of growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL) and thyroid-stimulating hormone beta sub-unit (TSHβ) genes. Therefore, the exploration of caprine POU1F1 gene polymorphisms may be vital in the formulation of conservation and breed improvement strategies. In this study, POU1F1 gene was characterized for sequence polymorphisms in 366 individuals from two Nigeri… Show more
