Abstract excerpt
A differential allele-specific accumulation of kappa-casein mRNA that is not linked to the kappa-casein protein variants is described in Holstein cows. Actually, cows genotyped kappa-casein AB were a mixed population. For the first group of kappa-casein AB cows, allele A-specific kappa-casein mRNA contents within mammary epithelial cells were lower than the allele B-specific ones (cows LH), suggesting that the...
