Abstract excerpt
GPAT1 gene is considered to be a genetic marker for intramuscular fat content. The GPAT enzymes catalyze the first step in triacylglycerol synthesis. In the present study, the search for polymorphisms within the pig GPAT1 gene locus as well as association analyses between SNPs and meat quality traits were performed. The association analysis demonstrated that g.133513422C > T polymorphism affected IMF content in...
