Abstract excerpt
As an important triglyceride hydrolase in mammalian cells, patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 2 (PNPLA2) predominantly performs the first step in triglyceride hydrolysis. The objective of this study was to detect and evaluate the effects of mutations in the 5' upstream region of porcine PNPLA2 gene with fat deposition and carcass traits. Four single nuclear polymorphisms were identified, including...
