Myostatin maps to the interval containing the bovine mh locus.

Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society - 1 Oct 1997

Abstract excerpt

Myostatin (GDF-8) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily and plays a role in muscle growth and development. Mice having targeted disruption of this gene display marked increases in muscle mass, a phenotype similar to the muscular hypertrophy (mh) in several cattle breeds. Physical mapping data developed from YAC clones indicate the bovine myostatin gene lies close to the centromere of...
