Abstract excerpt
Genetic association analysis was applied to examine the effect of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase beta 2 subunit (ATP1B2) gene on rectal temperature, milk traits, K(+) levels and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase (NKA) activity in the red blood cells of 1001 Chinese Holstein cows under normal and heat-stress conditions. We detected two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms, G2258A and C2833T, in the second and fourth introns,...
