Isolation and characterization of the bovine Stearoyl-CoAdesaturase promoter and analysis of polymorphisms in the promoter region in dairy cows
Keating, Aileen F.; Murphy, John J.; Smith, Terry J.; Cairns, Michael T. (Springer, 2005-03)Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in milk arises through microbial biohydrogenation of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the rumen, and by the action of mammary Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (Scd). A large variation ... -
A note on the evaluation of a beta-casein variant in bovine breeds by allele-specific PCR and relevance to beta-casomorphin
Keating, Aileen F.; Smith, Terry J.; Cairns, Michael T. (Teagasc; De Gruyter Open, 2008)Two genetic variants of the bovine beta-casein gene (A(1) and B) encode a histidine residue at codon 67, resulting in potential liberation of a bioactive peptide, beta-casomorphin, upon digestion. An allele-specific PCR ... -
A single nucleotide polymorphism in the bovine beta-casein promoter region across different bovine breeds
Keating, Aileen F.; Smith, Terry J.; Cairns, Michael T. (Cambridge Journals, 2006-02-14)The bovine β-casein (CSN2) gene has been shown to span a region of 8·5 kb, containing nine exons and eight intervening introns (Bonsing et al. 1988; Martin et al. 2002). The exons range in size from 24 to 498 bp; the ...
