Abstract excerpt
GH secretagogue receptor (ghrelin receptor, GHSR) is known to be involved in the control of GH release by mediating the strong stimulatory effect of the endogenous ligand, ghrelin, on GH secretion. Associations between the GHSR gene polymorphism and the growth traits were revealed in Nanyang cattle. The mutations at nt456(G > A) and nt667(C > T) were complete linkage and located in exon 1 of the coding region of...
