Abstract excerpt
Cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector c (CIDEC, also known as Fsp27) has emerged as an important regulator of metabolism associated with lipodystrophy, diabetes, and hepatic steatosis. It is required for unilocular lipid droplet formation and optimal energy storage. The mechanism between this gene and livestock growth traits, however, has yet to be reported. In this study, we found ten novel single nucleotide...
