Cytokines are small cell-signaling proteins that play an important role in the immune system, participating in intracellular communication. Four candidate genes of the cytokine family (IL2, IL4, IL13, and IFNG) were selected to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that might be associated with resistance to gastrointestinal endoparasites in goats.

Association of SIRT2 gene polymorphisms with body measurement and growth traits of Qinchuan cattle

L. S. Gui, Yang, W. C., Zhao, C. P., Wei, S. J., Zhao, Z. D., and Zan, L. S., Association of SIRT2 gene polymorphisms with body measurement and growth traits of Qinchuan cattle, vol. 13, pp. 8834-8844, 2014.

Silent information regulator 2 (SIRT2), a member of the Sirtuin family of class III nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent protein deacetylases, plays an important role in senescence, metabolism, and apoptosis. This study was conducted to detect potential polymorphisms of the bovine SIRT2 gene and explore their relationships with meat quality and body measurement traits (BMTs) in Qinchuan cattle.
