Abstract excerpt
The alphas1-casein (alphas1-Cas) locus in the goat is characterized by a polymorphism, the main feature of which is to be qualitative as well as quantitative. A systematic analysis performed in an autochthon southern Italy breed identified a new rare allele (M), which was characterized at both the protein and genomic level. The M protein displays the slowest electrophoretic mobility of the alphas1-Cas variants...
