Effects of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) genes STAT1 and STAT3 genotypic combinations on fertilization and embryonic survival rates in Holstein cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Infertility is a major cause of dairy cow culling and economic loss. Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins are transcription factors that play an important role in fertility and early embryonic development, among many other functions. Previous studies have reported the association of several genes from the JAK/STAT signaling pathway with fertility traits in cattle. The STAT1 and STAT3...
