Abstract excerpt
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5B (STAT5B) plays a critical role in milk protein synthesis in mammals. However, its transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in buffalo, particularly in Binglangjiang buffalo, a breed characterized by high milk protein content, remain largely unclear. The study isolated and identified the functional STAT5B transcript variant in lactating buffalo mammary gland...
