Abstract excerpt
Angiopoietin-like protein 6 (ANGPTL6), which plays an important role in angiogenesis and energy metabolism as a circulating orphan peptide secreted by liver, could produce a potential effect on growth and development of animals. The objective of this study was to detect genetic variations of ANGPTL6 gene in 732 Qinchuan cattle, as well as to analyze their associations with growth traits and carcass weight....
