Abstract excerpt
The gene coding for insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) is important for regulation of growth, development and metabolism in mammals. The present investigation was conducted to study nucleotide polymorphism of the IGFBP3 in gayal (Bos frontalis) and to compare the variations with those which occur in other ruminants. A fragment of 645 base pairs of the IGFBP3 covering a part of exon 2, the...
