Abstract excerpt
In a previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) on milk production traits in a Chinese Holstein population, we revealed that GPIHBP1 is a novel promising candidate gene for milk fat content traits. In this study, we performed over-expression and RNAi experiments on GPIHBP1 in bovine primary mammary epithelial cells. The results showed that the expression of several important milk fat-related genes (LPL, CD36,...
