Abstract excerpt
The KRT75 gene (Keratin 75) is a member of the type II epithelial α-keratin gene family which plays a key role in hair and nail formation. And the coat conformation affects heat tolarence in mammals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the KRT75 gene and further evaluate its relation to heat stress in Chinese cattle. A missense mutation (NC_037332.1:...
