Variation at the Calpain 3 gene is associated with meat tenderness in zebu and composite breeds of cattle.

BMC genetics - 1 Jul 2008

Barendse William, Harrison Blair E, Bunch Rowan J, Thomas Merle B

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) affecting meat tenderness have been reported on Bovine chromosome 10. Here we examine variation at the Calpain 3 (CAPN3) gene in cattle, a gene located within the confidence interval of the QTL, and which is a positional candidate gene based on the biochemical activity of the protein. RESULTS: We identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the genomic sequence of...
