Beyond the Big Five: Investigating Myostatin Structure, Polymorphism and Expression in Camelus dromedarius
7 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Myostatin, a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass in animals, has been shown to play a role in determining muscular hypertrophy in several livestock species, and a high degree of polymorphism has been previously reported for this gene in humans and cattle. In this study, we provide a characterization of the myostatin gene in the dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) at the genomic, transcript and protein level....
