Goat PDGFRB: unique mRNA expression profile in gonad and significant association between genetic variation and litter size

β-Type platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFRB) is a typical tyrosine kinase, as a candidate gene associated with reproduction. Its main roles include regulation of gonocytes (migration and proliferation) and of the cell cycle. The objectives of this study were to identify mRNA expression of...
