Abstract excerpt
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (OLR1) encodes a low-density lipoprotein receptor belonging to the C-type lectin superfamily, which is closely related to reproduction. OLR1 is associated with fecundity in Awassi sheep. However, its effect on litter size has not been investigated in goats. In this study, OLR1 sequences and their mRNA expression levels in the gonadal axis of Guizhou white goats were...
