Variations in HIF-1α Contributed to High Altitude Hypoxia Adaptation via Affected Oxygen Metabolism in Tibetan Sheep
28 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
The Tibetan sheep is an indigenous species of the Tibetan plateau and has been well adapted to high-altitude hypoxia. In comparison to lowland sheep breeds, the blood gas indicators have changed and the HIFs signaling pathway is activated in Tibetan sheep. These phenotypic and genetic alterations in Tibetan sheep are thought to be an important basis for adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia and variation in genes...
