Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is considered as an essential enzyme in lipid deposition and tissue metabolism. It has been proposed to be a lead candidate gene for genetic markers of lipid deposition and energy balance. In this paper, polymorphisms in the LPL gene were investigated in 554 Chinese Qinchuan cattle by PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified, which included...
