Abstract excerpt
Liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) is a member of intracellular lipid-binding proteins involved in the transportation of fatty acids. We detected the polymorphisms of duck L-FABP gene and its association with the intramuscular fat (IMF) and other fat-related traits. The complete sequence of duck L-FABP gene (four exons and three introns, 2,542 bp) was obtained in this study. The polymorphism of L-FABP...
