Abstract excerpt
KRT2.13 is a type II keratin wool intermediate filament (IF) protein. Extensive variation was revealed in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the ovine KRT2.13 gene (KRT2.13) using polymerase chain reaction - single strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis. Nine unique PCR-SSCP patterns were obtained with individual sheep having either one (homozygous), or a combination of two (heterozygous) of...
