Analysis of the Diversity of the AvBD Gene Region in Japanese Quail.

The Journal of heredity - 30 Sept 2020

Ishige Taichiro, Hara Hiromi, Hirano Takashi, Kono Tomohiro, Hanzawa Kei

Abstract excerpt

The avian β-defensin (AvBD) gene region is an important component of the innate immune system, encoding a variety of antimicrobial peptides. The AvBD region forms a multigene cluster in a specific chromosomal region. Comparison of the AvBD region among various birds suggests the presence of defects, duplications, and pseudogenization at many loci. The AvBD region in certain galliform birds, namely chicken,...
