Effect of two non-synonymous ecto-5′-nucleotidase variants on the genetic architecture of inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP) and its degradation products in Japanese Black beef

Abstract Background Umami is a Japanese term for the fifth basic taste and is an important sensory property of beef palatability. Inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP) contributes to umami taste in beef. Thus, the overall change in concentration of IMP and its degradation products can potentially affect th...
