Lessons from the canine Oxtr gene: populations, variants and functional aspects.

Genes, brain, and behavior - 1 Apr 2017

Bence M, Marx P, Szantai E, Kubinyi E, Ronai Z, Banlaki Z

Abstract excerpt

Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) acts as a key behavioral modulator of the central nervous system, affecting social behavior, stress, affiliation and cognitive functions. Variants of the Oxtr gene are known to influence behavior both in animals and humans; however, canine Oxtr polymorphisms are less characterized in terms of possible relevance to function, selection criteria in breeding and domestication. In this report,...
