Molecular characterization, polymorphism of the ACOX1 gene and association with ultrasound traits in Bos taurus

Y. Jiao, Zan, L. S., Liu, Y. F., and Wang, H. B., Molecular characterization, polymorphism of the ACOX1 gene and association with ultrasound traits in Bos taurus, vol. 10, pp. 1948-1957, 2011.

Acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1 (ACOX1) is the first enzyme in peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation; it is rate-limiting and plays a key role in fatty acid metabolism and fat deposition. ACOX1 is an important candidate gene for meat quality selection through marker-assisted selection. Genomic structural analysis showed that bovine ACOX1 shares 86% identity with human ACOX1. Using PCR-SSCP technology, we discovered a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (A1865C) in exon 13 of the ACOX1 gene.
