Abstract excerpt
The insulin-induced gene 1 (INSIG1) gene encodes a protein that blocks proteolytic activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins, which are transcription factors that activate genes that regulate cholesterol, fatty acid, and glucose metabolism. However, similar research for the bovine INSIG1 gene is lacking. Therefore, in this study, polymorphisms of the bovine INSIG1 gene were detected in 643...
