Abstract excerpt
Variants of kappa-casein (CSN3) have been extensively studied in cattle and 13 alleles have been identified at the protein and DNA levels to date. Evolution of some of these alleles and a possible common ancestor remain unclear. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis of CSN3 exon IV in domesticated yak revealed a 2-allele polymorphism showing migration patterns...
