Abstract excerpt
The degradation of myofibrillar proteins during meat maturation affects the water holding capacity (WHC) of meat. Our study sought to identify polymorphisms in UBE3B and ZRANB1, genes encoding proteins involved in ubiquitination, and to evaluate the relationship between genotype, transcript abundance, and WHC of pork. A single SNP of ZRANB1, c.552A>G (p.Ile153Val), and two silent SNPs of UBE3B, c.1921A>T and...
