Genetic variation in the pro-melanin-concentrating hormone gene affects carcass traits in Bos taurus cattle.

Animal genetics - 1 Jun 2008

Helgeson S C, Schmutz S M

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian pro-melanin-concentrating hormone (PMCH) has previously been shown to affect feed intake in rodent species. The objectives of this study were to sequence the Bos taurus PMCH gene in order to identify any existing genetic variants and to evaluate whether these affected carcass traits. An A-to-T SNP was identified at position -134 relative to the ATG start codon (g.-134A>T). The alleles at this SNP were...
