The 2 major subvariants of β-casein (A1 and A2), coded by CSN2 gene, have received great
interest in the last decade both from the scientific community and the dairy sector due to their …

Background: The aim of this study was to detect allelic and genotypic frequencies of
prolactin (PRL) gene in Gir (200) and Kankrej (100) cattle and to analyze milk production …

The modern dairy cattle breeding strategy in the Mexican tropic is to identify genes or allelic
variants that can be incorporated into selection programs such as the prolactin gene (PRL) …

The aim of this study was to determine the genetic diversity of 4 native Turkish cattle breeds,
based on the growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), and diacylglycerol acyltransferase …

In this study, polymorphism of prolactin gene was analyzed as a candidate gene responsible
for variation and genetic trends in milk yield and composition traits. Genomic DNAs were …

Prolactin is a protein hormone mainly, but not exclusively produced by lactotroph cells of the
anterior pituitary. Its role in lactogenesis and galactopoiesis (maintenance of milk secretion) …

In dairy farm animals, the principal goal of the selection is the improvement of milk yield and
composition. The genes of milk proteins and hormones are excellent candidate genes for …

Prolactin plays an important regulatory function in mammary gland development, milk
secretion, and expression of milk protein genes. Hence the PRL gene is a potential …

The present meta-analysis was carried to provide the more reliable estimates of gene
frequency and association of Rsa 1 generated candidate genotype of prolactin gene within …
