Sequence and Haplotypes Variation of the Ovine Uncoupling Protein-1 Gene (UCP1) and Their Association with Growth and Carcass Traits in New Zealand Romney Lambs

Sequence and Haplotypes Variation of the Ovine Uncoupling Protein-1 Gene (UCP1) and Their Association with Growth and Carcass Traits in New Zealand Romney Lambs

Uncoupling protein-1 gene (UCP1) plays an important role in the regulation of thermogenesis, energy expenditure, and protection against oxidative stress. In this study, six separate UCP1 regions: region-1 and region-2 (two parts of the promoter), region-3 and region-4 (two parts of intron 1), region...
