Abstract excerpt

Cathepsin K (CTSK) was selected as a candidate gene for fat deposition in pigs because recently, in human and mouse, it was shown that this lysosomal proteinase is an obesity marker. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was identified in intron 4 of the porcine CTSK gene (g.15G>A; FM209043). Allele frequencies of this polymorphism were analysed in seven pig breeds. Radiation hybrid mapping confirmed the...
