Genetic dissection of bull fertility in US Jersey dairy cattle.

abstract：:The present report describes the isolation and genetic characterization of the porcine apolipoprotein E (apo-E) gene. A single positive recombinant phage clone containing a 10.7-kb insert was isolated from a porcine genomic library, and a 4.2-kb fragment was subcloned and sequenced. The 4.2-kb fragment contained the e...

abstract：:Summary Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (ACSL) catalyses the formation of long-chain acyl-CoA from fatty acid, ATP and CoA, activating fatty acids for subsequent reactions. Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase thus plays an essential role in both lipid biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation. The ACSL4 gene was evaluated as ...
