Abstract excerpt
Fat-inducing transcript (FIT) are endoplasmic reticulum resident membrane proteins that induce lipid droplet accumulation. It plays a crucial role in the fundamental process of fat storing. In this study, on the basis of PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing methods, polymorphisms of the FIT gene were detected in 254 individuals from three goat breeds. The results showed that only P(5) locus had two SNPs, resulting in a...
