    abstract = {Calpastatin (CAST) is a specific inhibitor of the ubiquitous 
  calcium-dependent proteases-&#956;-calpain and m-calpain, found in mammalian 
  tissues. In the coding region of the bovine <I>CAST</I> gene (CAST) the new 
  nucleotide sequence polymorphism was found being a substitution G&rarr;C at position 
  962 nt (consensus sequence-GenBank AF281256). Consensus of bovine CAST sequence 
  with that of human revealed that G&rarr;C substitution was located at position 1460 
  nt of exon 12. Computer analysis of the mutation showed the Ser&rarr;Thr substitution 
  for CAST protein. The frequency of alleles C and G was 0.41 and 0.59, respectively. 
  The message from these results is that <I>CAST</I> gene may probably be considered 
  as a candidate marker for beef quality.}
