Beef production is an economically important sector of animal husbandry and much attention has been paid on the identification of molecular markers associated with gene expressions and growth traits. The aim of this study was to search for potential effects of a novel copy number variation (CNV) located in intron 10 of bovine Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 10 (MAPK10) on phenotypic variation. Cattle...
Flightless-1 (FLII) is essential for early embryogenesis, structural organization of indirect flight muscle and can inhibit adipocyte differentiation. We therefore aimed to identify common variations in FLII gene and to investigate their effects on cattle growth traits. By DNA sequencing and forced PCR-RFLP methods, we evaluated two synonymous mutations (rs41910826 and rs444484913) and one intron...
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4α (HNF-4α), a member of the hepatocyte nuclear factor family, plays an important role in regulating the expression of genes involved in the development, differentiation and normal function of liver and pancreatic β cells, as well as the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. Tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR (T-ARMS-PCR) is a new method offering fast...
As an adaptor protein, apart from potentiating Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) activation and promoting the insulin signaling pathway, Src homology 2 B 2 (SH2B2) indirectly takes part in the regulation of glucose uptake through the c-Cb1/CAP/TC10 pathway, which can in turn affect growth. In this study, we identified a 4bp indel mutation and three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the SH2B2 gene...
Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is a fetal growth and differentiation factor that plays an important role in muscle growth and in myoblast proliferation and differentiation. The aim of this study was to examine the association of the IGF2 polymorphism with growth traits in beef cattle breed. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs: 1–4) were identified in the bovine IGF2 by sequencing pooled...
ZBED6 is a novel transcription factor that was identified and shown to act as a repressor of IGF2 transcription in skeletal muscle. The aim of this study was to examine the association of the ZBED6 polymorphism with growth traits in beef cattle breed. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in the bovine ZBED6 by sequencing pooled DNA samples (Pool-Seq) and forced polymerase chain...
