Malic enzyme 1 genotype is associated with backfat thickness and meat quality traits in pigs.

Animal genetics - 1 Feb 2006

Vidal O, Varona L, Oliver M A, Noguera J L, Sànchez A, Amills M

Abstract excerpt

Malic enzyme 1 (ME1) is a part of the tricarboxylate shuttle that provides NADPH and acetyl-CoA required in fatty acid biosynthesis. The pig ME1 locus maps on the proximal end of chromosome 1, where a quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting fat deposition has been previously described. We amplified fragments of 1457 and 1459 bp that corresponded to the complete coding region and the 3'-untranslated region (UTR),...
