Casein genetic polymorphisms in goat breeds of Lombardy

Casein genetic polymorphisms in goat breeds of Lombardy

In the last years, the genetic polymorphism of goat caseins has raised a considerable research interest due to relationships with milk quality and technological properties (Martin et al., 2002). The four caseins, αs1-casein (CSN1S1), β-casein (CSN2), αs2-casein (CSN1S2),...

Description
Summary:In the last years, the genetic polymorphism of goat caseins has raised a considerable research interest due to relationships with milk quality and technological properties (Martin et al., 2002). The four caseins, αs1-casein (CSN1S1), β-casein (CSN2), αs2-casein (CSN1S2), and k-casein (CSN3), are coded by a cluster of genes (Ferretti et al., 1990; Threadgill and Womack, 1990).
