Variation in the ovine WFIKKN2 gene.

Gene - 10 Jun 2014

Wang Jiqing, Zhou Huitong, Fang Qian, Luo Yuzhu, Hickford Jon G H

Abstract excerpt

WFIKKN2 may play a role in the regulation of muscle growth and development through its interaction with growth and differentiation factor 8 (GDF8) and growth and differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), but to date research into the function of the protein has been focused on mice, even though the WFIKKN2 gene (WFIKKN2) was first identified in humans in 2001. In this study two regions (intron 1 and the 3' UTR) of ovine...
