Differential expression of L-FABP and L-BABP between fat and lean chickens

Q. Zhang, Shi, H., Liu, W., Wang, Y., Wang, Q., and Li, H., Differential expression of L-FABP and L-BABP between fat and lean chickens, vol. 12, pp. 4192-4206, 2013.

Liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) and liver bile acid-binding protein (L-BABP), in the liver intra-cytoplasm of chicken, are members of the fatty acid-binding protein subfamily. This study was designed to analyze and compare L-FABP and L-BABP expression levels between fat and lean lines in chicken liver tissue, and to determine the relationship between their expression and lipid metabolism. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression in liver tissue between the lean and fat lines.
