Abstract excerpt
The neuropeptide Y 5 receptor (NPY5R) plays an important role in the regulation of appetite and feeding behaviour in mammals by modulating the effect of the neurotransmitter neuropeptide Y. As single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variation in the bovine NPY5R gene is likely to influence the expression and/or function of this gene, the objectives of this study were to identify SNPs in the bovine NPY5R gene and to...
