Abstract excerpt
Zinc-a2-glycoprotien (AZGP1) involved in lipid metabolism and associated with adipose tissue atrophy in cachexia. And it also related to sperm motility and in turn fertilization. To ascertain whether there were mutations in the bovine AZGP1 gene, this study investigated variation of the AZGP1 gene through PCR-SSCP and sequencing. Four missense mutations were identified in 649 cattle from six independent...
