Characterization of two pro-opiomelanocortin gene variants and their effects on carcass traits in beef cattle.

BMC genetics - 4 Jan 2011

Deobald Heather M, Buchanan Fiona C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Carcass quantity (lean meat yield) and quality (degree of marbling) in beef cattle determines much of their economic value. Consequently, it is important to study genes that are part of the appetite pathway and that may ultimately affect carcass composition. Pro-opiomelanocortin is a prohormone that codes for many different peptides, several of which are involved in the appetite pathway. A single...
