Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein A2 is the second most abundant protein in high-density lipoproteins and plays an important role in lipid and glucose metabolism. APOA2 has been identified as a candidate gene influencing fat-related traits in pigs, and genetic variation has been associated with its hepatic expression. The aim of this study was to identify regulatory polymorphisms in the APOA2 promoter and assess their impact on...
