Novel 6-bp Deletion Mutation in visfatin Gene and Its Associations with Birth Weight and Bodyweight in Chinese Cattle

Novel 6-bp Deletion Mutation in visfatin Gene and Its Associations with Birth Weight and Bodyweight in Chinese Cattle

Visfatin, like insulin, induces phosphorylation of signal transduction proteins that operatate downstream of the insulin receptor. The present study is focused on detecting deletion of visfatin gene and analyzing its effect on growth traits in six Chinese cattle breeds (Nangyang, Luxi, Qinchuan, Jia...
