Functional Analysis of Genes Involved in Glycerolipids Biosynthesis (<i>GPAT1</i> and <i>GPAT2</i>) in Pigs

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) enzymes catalyze the first step in triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis. Genes that belong to the <i>GPAT</i> family are potential genetic markers for intramuscular fat content (IMF) content and thus meat quality. The objective of this study was to...
