Polymorphisms of candidate genes associated with feed efficiency and growth traits in commercial crossbred pigs [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2019 Feed efficiency is an important trait in the swine industry, but it is difficult to measure individually for genetic improvement. A total of 184 commercial pigs (50% Duroc, 25% Large White, and 25% Landrace) were collected for blood and genotyped.

Cathepsin G: Roles in antigen presentation and beyond [PDF]
Molecular Immunology, 2010 Contributions from multiple cathepsins within endosomal antigen processing compartments are necessary to process antigenic proteins into antigenic peptides. Cysteine and aspartyl cathepsins have been known to digest antigenic proteins. A role for the serine protease, cathepsin G (CatG), in this process has been described only recently, although CatG ...

Cathepsin G enhances human natural killer cytotoxicity
Immunology, 1998 Cathepsin G is a serine protease located in the azurophil granules of neutrophils. In this study, we investigated the effect of cathepsin G on the functions of human natural killer (NK) cells in vitro. Cathepsin G enhanced NK cytotoxicity rapidly in a dose‐dependent fashion. The ability to augment NK cytotoxicity was markedly reduced in the presence of
