The prolactin receptor: A cross‐species comparison of gene structure, transcriptional regulation, tissue‐specificity, and genetic variation

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2024.
The prolactin receptor has many conserved features across species, and these are all subject to a complex regulation at the level of gene transcription. This figure depicts the structure of different isoforms of the prolactin receptor in representative human, rodent, ungulate, avian, and reptile species.

Analysis of 206 whole‐genome resequencing reveals selection signatures associated with breed‐specific traits in Hu sheep

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract As an invaluable Chinese sheep germplasm resource, Hu sheep are renowned for their high fertility and beautiful wavy lambskins. Their distinctive characteristics have evolved over time through a combination of artificial and natural selection. Identifying selection signatures in Hu sheep can provide a straightforward insight into the mechanism

Role of HFSCARC in hair follicle stem cell proliferation and differentiation in cashmere goat

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 217-229, May 2024.
lncRNA‐000552, standing for “goat secondary HFSC Associated SYNE3 Regulator of HF Cycle (HFSCARC), locating in the nucleus of HFSC in cashmere goat, expressed higher in anagen than that in telogen of cashmere goat. HFSCARC inhibited the proliferation and promoted the differentiation of HFSC by recruiting the transmethylase and demethylase to regulate ...

Association of Biometric Traits with Growth Hormone Gene Diversity in Raini Cashmere Goats

Walailak Journal of Science and Technology (WJST), 2018
In recent years, the important effects of growth hormone on a broad variety of physiological parameters, such as lactation, reproduction, growth, and metabolism, have attracted many researchers' attentions. To detect GH gene polymorphism and its association with the biometric traits of Raini Cashmere goats, 300 animals were selected and the animals ...

Impact of High Glycine Tyrosine KAP Gene on Cashmere Fibre Trait Characteristics

Biotechnology Journal International, 2017
Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) represents a world renowned goat famous for production of superfine downfibre “Cashmere”. The worldwide total production of cashmere fibre is about 10000-15000 tonnes per annum. Among all the fibres cashmere is the finest fibre of animal origin, produced in fairly large quantity in the world derived from goat breed ...

Association analysis of GPRC5D and GJA1 gene polymorphisms with cashmere fiber diameter and production traits in Liaoning Cashmere Goats

Cogent Food & Agriculture
Liaoning cashmere goats are renowned for high cashmere yield but often exhibit coarser fiber diameter, limiting commercial value. This study investigated the associations of GPRC5D (G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member D) (G2122T) and GJA1 ...

Variation in the Caprine KAP24-1 Gene Affects Cashmere Fibre Diameter

Animals, 2019
The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are structural components of cashmere fibres. The gene encoding the high-sulphur (HS)-KAP24-1 (KRTAP24-1) has been identified in humans and sheep, but it has not been described in goats. In this study, we report the
