Genetic polymorphisms of αS1-, αS2- and k-casein in Maltese goat breed

Genetic polymorphisms of αS1-, αS2- and k-casein in Maltese goat breed

The casein genes are organized as a tight cluster including αS1- (CSN1S1), β- (CSN2), αS2- (CSN1S2) and k-casein (CSN3). Investigation at casein haplotype level is therefore necessary to detect effects which could be used for the genetic improvement of goat breeds aiming to preserve biodiversity, sa...

Zusammenfassung:The casein genes are organized as a tight cluster including αS1- (CSN1S1), β- (CSN2), αS2- (CSN1S2) and k-casein (CSN3). Investigation at casein haplotype level is therefore necessary to detect effects which could be used for the genetic improvement of goat breeds aiming to preserve biodiversity, safeguard typical products, and valorise nutritional properties of goat milk. Mutations responsible for the reduced or null expression of CSN1S1...
