SNPs detected in the yak MC4R gene and their association with growth traits.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Jul 2015

Abstract excerpt

MC4R (melanocortin 4 receptor) is expressed in the appetite-regulating areas of the brain and takes part in leptin signaling pathways. Sequencing of the coding region of the MC4R gene for 354 yaks identified the following five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): SNP1 (273C>T), SNP2 (321 G>T), SNP3 (864 C>A), SNP4 (1069G>C) and SNP5 (1206 G>C). SNP1, SNP2 and SNP3 were synonymous mutations, whereas SNP4 and...
