Gene Expression and Localization of LAMTOR3 in the Skin Cells of Liaoning Cashmere Goats
Animal Biotechnology, 2018 Liaoning cashmere goats are the most precious genetic resources in China. The function of LAMTOR3 [late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and mammalian target of rapamycin activator 3/MAPK scaffold protein 1] gene is expressed in the skin of Liaoning cashmere goats.
