Abstract excerpt
Aquaporin 9 plays critical roles in aspects of energy homeostasis, metabolism, gluconeogenesis, fat synthesis and even the individual growth and development. So the Aquaporin 9 (AQP9) gene is a potential candidate gene for bovine growth traits. In this study, we detected the polymorphism of the bovine AQP9 gene including all exons by PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing methods with six pairs of PCR primers in 555...
