Abstract excerpt
Beta-lactoglobulin (beta-LG) is the major whey protein in cow's milk. It is well established that the predominant 2 genetic variants, beta-LG A and B, are differentially expressed. Extensive investigation of the genetic variation in the promoter region of the BLG gene revealed the existence of specific haplotypes associated with the A and B variants, respectively. However, the genetic basis for the differential...
