Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme for lipid metabolism, playing a fundamental role in the composition of fat in adipose tissue and milk. The LPL gene has been seldom investigated in dairy ruminants and barely studied in river buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). The aim of this work was to explore the genetic diversity of LPL and its promoter and to identify functional mutations, using a combined approach based on...
