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 ...

Gene expression in sheep skin and wool (hair)
Genomics, 2004 We sequenced 2939 ESTs from fetal and adult sheep skin. Stages of gestation were picked to coincide with the major events in skin appendage (wool follicle) formation. Clustering analysis generated a nonredundant set of ESTs 2435 strong (83% nonredundant).

Polymorphisms of FST gene and their association with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Follistatin (FST) is involved in hair follicle morphogenesis. However, its effects on hair traits are not clear. This study was designed to investigate the effects of FST gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on wool quality traits in Chinese Merino

Accumulation and Determination of Phenylethanolamine A Residue in Hair of Swine and Sheep [PDF]
Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 2016 The present study proposed the use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to detect the novel β-agonist phenylethanolamine A (PEA) in incurred hair samples of swine and sheep and to assess its accumulation for residue monitoring. The method showed good percent recoveries ranging from 93.2% to 102% and good coefficient of variation at

Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are the structural proteins of hair fibers and are thought to play an important role in determining the physical properties of hair fibers.

Purification and Calcium Dependence of Transglutaminases from Sheep Hair Follicles [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1997 To study the calcium sensitivity of sheep hair follicle transglutaminase, which was reportedly calcium-independent [H. W. Harding and G.E. Rogers, Biochemistry, 11, 2858-2863 (1972)], the enzyme was purified from a homogenate of merino sheep hair follicles and its calcium dependence was examined.

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 ...
