Abstract excerpt
The lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 (LEF1) belongs to a family of regulatory proteins that share homology with the high mobility group protein-1 (HMG1). The LEF1 gene is a mediator in the canonical Wnt-signalling pathway required for morphogenesis of early mammary gland during embryogenesis. Here we describe the molecular characterisation of the porcine LEF1 gene and its association with number of teats and...
