Target genes of myostatin loss-of-function in muscles of late bovine fetuses.

BMC genomics - 1 Mar 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Myostatin, a muscle-specific member of the Transforming Growth Factor beta family, negatively regulates muscle development. Double-muscled (DM) cattle have a loss-of-function mutation in their myostatin gene responsible for the hypermuscular phenotype. Thus, these animals are a good model for understanding the mechanisms underpinning muscular hypertrophy. In order to identify individual genes or...
