Cloning of the calpain regulatory subunit cDNA from fish reveals a divergent domain-V.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Growth and carcass traits are of great economic importance in livestock production. A large number of quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been identified for growth and carcass traits on porcine chromosome one (SSC1). A key positional candidate for this chromosomal region is TGFBR1 (transforming growth factor...
