The fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene is associated with intramuscular fat content and growth rate in the pig.

Animal biotechnology - 1 Jan 2009

Fan Bin, Du Zhi-Qiang, Rothschild Max F

Abstract excerpt

The association of the FTO gene with obesity has been implicated in various human populations. The FTO gene is also most likely involved in the regulation of energy balance and feed intake. Here, the FTO gene was studied as a candidate gene for fatness and growth rate traits in pigs. The amino acid sequence of the FTO gene showed high conservation among human, pig, and other important domestic animals. Twelve...
