Sheep IGFBP2 and IGFBP4 promoter methylation regulates gene expression and hair follicle development
Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2022 Background: Hair follicle development is important for the fineness of wool. Our previous methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing showed that IGFBP2 and IGFBP4 were differentially methylated at different development stages of the hair follicle of ...

Heat stress effects on sheep: Are hair sheep more heat resistant?
Theriogenology, 2020 Climatic variables can trigger physiological, biochemical, haematological and hormonal alterations that influence the maintenance of homeothermy and can affect production and productivity in sheep. Different mechanisms are responsible for tolerance to heat stress (HS) including coat and skin colour, body size, fat distribution, physiological reactions ...

STAT3 Partly Inhibits Cell Proliferation via Direct Negative Regulation of FST Gene Expression
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Follistatin (FST) is a secretory glycoprotein and belongs to the TGF-β superfamily. Previously, we found that two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of sheep FST gene were significantly associated with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep ...
