Variation in the FABP4 gene affects carcass and growth traits in sheep.

Meat science - 1 Nov 2018

Abstract excerpt

Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) participates in fatty-acid transportation and variation in the gene has been reported to affect fat deposition in mammals. To assess the effects of variation in FABP4 on carcass and growth traits in sheep, two regions of the gene were investigated in 749 New Zealand Romney lambs. Five variants (A1 - E1) were found in region-1 (exon 2 - intron 2) and three variants (A2 - C2)...
