Abstract excerpt
There is evidence that stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a key enzyme for lipid metabolism. Changes in enzyme activity that depends on SCD gene polymorphism and regulation could cause variations of fatty acid composition of meat and milk. We investigated genetic variability in caprine SCD, analyzing 335 animals belonging to three goat breeds by single-strand conformation polymorphism and DNA sequencing. Six single...
