Bovine CAPN1 maps to a region of BTA29 containing a quantitative trait locus for meat tenderness.
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Micromolar calcium activated neural protease (CAPN1) was investigated as a potential candidate gene for a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on BTA29 affecting meat tenderness. A 2,948-bp bovine cDNA containing the entire coding region of the gene was obtained, showing 91% identity to human CAPN1. The 716 AA protein predicted from this sequence shows 97% similarity (95% identity) to the 714 AA human protein. Analysis...
