Abstract excerpt
Porcine MYOD1 gene has been mapped to swine chromosome (SSC) 2p14-p17, which is involved in the regulation of the proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells. The LDHA (lactate dehydrogenase A) and COPB1 (coatomer protein complex, subunit beta 1) genes, which map close to MYOD1, are involved in energy metabolism and protein transport processes. Both genes might play important roles in muscle...
