Krüppel-like factor 3 (KLF3), a member of the Krüppel-like factor (KLF) family, plays an important role in adipogenesis and lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate whether KLF3 could be used as a candidate gene in the breeding of cattle. The expression pattern of bovine KLF3 gene revealed that it was highly expressed in abdominal fat and perirenal fat. Using DNA sequencing, three single...
