AB  - The Calpain3 (<I>CAPN3</I>) 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.
