Abstract excerpt
The fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) plays a role in lipid metabolism and has been implicated in intra-cellular lipid transport. While FABP4 variation has been reported in some species, variation in the coding sequence has not been reported in sheep. In this study two regions of ovine FABP4 were analysed using PCR-SSCP and sequencing. Five different PCR-SSCP patterns, representing five specific sequences (A (...
