Differential Expression of MSTN Isoforms in Muscle between Broiler and Layer Chickens
Myostatin (Mstn)-A, the main isoform among Mstn splicing variants, functions as a negative regulator, whereas Mstn-B functions as a positive regulator in muscle development. Because broiler chickens are a fast-growing breed raised for meat production and layer chickens are a slow-growing breed raise...
