Abstract excerpt
TRIB3 plays an important role in energy metabolism. This work aimed to study the porcine tribbles homolog 3 (TRIB3) gene and to evaluate its association with meat quality and carcass traits in pigs. By sequencing a portion of the porcine TRIB3 gene two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the first coding exon (one synonymous SNP: c.132 T>C; and one missense mutation: c.146C>T, p.P49L) were identified. The...
