Abstract excerpt
Prolactin is a versatile hormone with multiple activities, including a negative control on egg production. This study was conducted to genotype all the coding portions of the prl gene using PCR-SSCP-sequencing, and to investigate the effects of amino acid substitutions of the prl gene on the structure and function of prolactin in quails using in silico approach. Though all genotyped exons exerted homogenous...
