Analysis of associations of PIT1 genotypes with growth, meat quality and carcass composition traits in pigs.

Journal of applied genetics - 1 Jan 2002

Brunsch Christa, Sternstein Ina, Reinecke Peter, Bieniek Józef

Abstract excerpt

PIT1 was chosen as a candidate gene to investigate its associations with growth, meat quality and carcass composition traits in the pig. PIT1 is known as the pituitary-specific activator of the growth hormone in several mammals. Furthermore, PIT1 is a positive regulatory factor of prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone beta. PIT1 is a member of the POU-domain family of genes and is located on porcine...
