Genetic variations in the myostatin gene (MSTN) in New Zealand sheep breeds.

Molecular biology reports - 1 Nov 2013

Han J, Forrest R H, Hickford J G H

Abstract excerpt

Myostatin, which is also known as growth and differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), acts as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Variation in the myostatin gene (MSTN) has been associated with variation in muscularity in many animals including sheep. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis was used to investigate MSTN in a diverse range of sheep breeds...
