Abstract excerpt
The complete open reading frame (ORF) of the c-kit cDNA was cloned from a cerebellar cDNA library of the Shiba goat (Capra hircus var Shiba) with the dominant black-eyed white phenotype. The analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence revealed the presence of a single amino acid insertion (alanine) in the kinase insert (KI) region. While the newly found alanine insertion is not correlated with the coat color...
