Abstract excerpt
Liver X receptor α (LXRα) has emerged as an important regulator of lipid and energy metabolism. In this study, to better understand the effects of LXRα gene on growth traits in cattle, the mRNA tissue expression patterns and the polymorphisms of some exons of LXRα were revealed. The expression profile of the bovine LXRα gene was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in 11...
