PLAG1 g.8795C>T Mutation Regulates Early Body Weight in Hu Sheep by Weakening miR-139 Binding.

Abstract excerpt

Sheep birth and weaning weights indicate their growth and survival. Thus, identifying molecular genetic markers for early body weight is important in sheep breeding. Pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) is important for regulating birth weight and body length in mammals; however, its relationship with sheep body weight remains unknown. Here, the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the Hu sheep PLAG1 gene was cloned,...
