Molecular characterization and expression patterns of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein genes in postnatal Nanjiang brown goats

S. Y. Zhan, Chen, L., Li, L., Wang, L. J., Zhong, T., and Zhang, H. P., Molecular characterization and expression patterns of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein genes in postnatal Nanjiang brown goats, vol. 14, pp. 12547-12560, 2015.

Insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) play a key role in modulating insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), and are considered candidate genes for growth traits in livestock. In this study, we identified the complete coding sequences of IGFBP-1 to -6 in the Nanjiang brown goat, and assessed gene tissue expression patterns by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Expression of mRNA for the six gene targets was detectable in liver, heart, and longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle.
