Abstract excerpt
A cluster of genes coding for proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM) containing sequence motifs essential for integrin-receptor interactions is located on HSA4q21 and on BTA6, within the critical region of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) affecting milk protein production. Genes within this cluster are involved in the formation of bone and lobuloalveolar structures in mammary gland and in kidney function. We...
