Associations Between Polymorphisms of the CSN1S1 , CSN1S2 , CSN2 and CSN3 Genes and Milk Composition Traits in Holstein Cattle [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and ScienceBackground Caseins are the major proteins found in cow's milk. There are four known casein fractions: αS1‐casein, αS2‐casein, β‐casein and κ‐casein, encoded by the CSN1S1, CSN1S2, CSN2 and CSN3 genes located on the sixth chromosome of cattle. These genes

A novel duplex ACRS-PCR for composite CSN1S1–CSN3 genotype discrimination in domestic buffalo
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2021 This short communication aimed to develop a fast and straightforward method for the simultaneous discrimination in buffaloes of the alleles CSN1S1 A/B and CSN3 X1/X2 using a single protocol. DNA was isolated from 219 individual blood samples.

Identification of the Bovine CSN3 Core Promoter Region and the Relationships Between CSN3 Promoter Polymorphisms and the CSN3 A and B Alleles [PDF]
AnimalsReportedly, the number of κ-casein (κ-CN) B alleles increases the proportion of κ-CN to total protein and the κ-CN content. This phenomenon is caused by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of CSN3, which encodes the B variant ...

Hexokinase 1 and 2 mediates glucose utilization to regulate the synthesis of kappa casein via ribosome protein subunit 6 kinase 1 in bovine mammary epithelial cells [PDF]
Animal NutritionGlucose plays a vital part in milk protein synthesis through the mTOR signaling pathway in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMEC). The objectives of this study were to determine how glucose affects hexokinase (HK) activity in BMEC and investigate the ...

The relationships between κ-casein (CSN3) gene polymorphism and some performance traits in Simmental cattle [PDF]
Archives Animal Breeding, 2022 In this study we aim to examine genotypic structures in terms of the κ-casein (CSN3) gene locus in 70 head of Simmental cattle raised in a private enterprise in Erzurum to determine the distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies in cattle in terms ...

Csn3 gene is regulated by all-trans retinoic acid during neural differentiation in mouse P19 cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 κ-Casein (CSN3) is known to play an essential role in controlling the stability of the milk micelles. We found that the expression of Csn3 was induced by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) during neural differentiation in P19 embryonal carcinoma cells from ...
