Abstract excerpt
Retinoic acid receptor responder 2 gene (RARRES2) encodes a novel adipokine protein that plays a crucial role in regulating several biological processes, including immune responses, adipocyte differentiation, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In this paper, polymorphisms of the bovine RARRES2 gene were detected in 1300 individuals from six breeds by DNA pooling, CRS-PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing methods. The...
