Abstract excerpt
The melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) is a G protein-coupled receptor and potentially important in production traits. Three naturally occurring mutations (M54L, G104S, and L151R) in chicken MC3R (cMC3R) were reported previously to be associated with production traits. Here, we inserted the full-length cMC3R coding sequence into pcDNA3.1(+) and generated the 3 mutations by site-directed mutagenesis. The total and...
