AB - The Calpain3 (CAPN3) gene, located within the confidence
interval of the Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) affecting meat tenderness, being
regarded as a candidate gene for meat tenderness in cattle. In this study, SNPs
in exon 23-intron 23 region of the yak CAPN3 was investigated from 1032 yak
with Polymerase Chain Reaction-Single Strand Conformational Polymorphism (PCR-SSCP).
Three Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), resulting in three novel alleles
were detected in this region, respectively. These variations included one synonymous
in exon 23 and two SNPs in intron 23. Allele C was the most common allele (63.18%)
in all of yak. These SNPs are the first report in yak CAPN3 and also suggest
further analysis is required to explore the relations between variation sites
and meat tenderness.
