Abstract excerpt
The phosphoglycerate mutase 2 (PGAM2) gene encodes a key enzyme in the glycolytic process. This study examined a functional mutation in the PGAM2 gene and evaluated its relationship with water holding capacity (WHC). RT-qPCR analysis showed the PGAM2 mRNA level was significantly higher in the low-WHC group than in the high-WHC group (P<0.05). The c.-360 T>C mutation was identified through sequencing and found to...
