Polymorphism of the caprine malic enzyme 1 (ME1) gene and its association with milk quality traits in Murciano–Granadina goats

Polymorphism of the caprine malic enzyme 1 (ME1) gene and its association with milk quality traits in Murciano–Granadina goats

Malic enzyme 1 plays a fundamental role in lipid metabolism because it yields a significant amount of the NADPH necessary for fatty acid biosynthesis. In ruminants, however, its contribution to this biochemical process seems to be less relevant than in other livestock species. In this study, we have...
