Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4, Fatty Acid Synthase and Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase Genes Influence Carcass Characteristics of Tropical Crossbred Beef Steers

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4, Fatty Acid Synthase and Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase Genes Influence Carcass Characteristics of Tropical Crossbred Beef Steers

This study explored the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in fatty acid binding protein 4 (<i>FABP4</i>), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (<i>SCD</i>), and fatty acid synthase (<i>FASN</i>) genes that may influence the carcass traits of tropical cros...
