Double Muscling in Cattle: Genes, Husbandry, Carcasses and Meat
Molecular biology has enabled the identification of the mechanisms whereby inactive myostatin increases skeletal muscle growth in double-muscled (DM) animals. Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor belonging to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily. Mutations make the myostatin gene inactive, resulting in muscle hypertrophy. The relationship between the different character...
متن کاملMyostatin Mutations Cause Double Muscling in Cattle
The differences between humans and farm animals are obvious, from body structure to diet to reproduction. Unlike humans, swine have litters of young; cattle are ruminants; and sheep are woolly. Despite such significant differences, growth and development of mammalian species is very similar. The biological controls that govern the establishment of body axes, induction and morphogenesis of tissu...

متن کاملCorrection to ‘The evolution of dual meat and milk cattle husbandry in Linearbandkeramik societies’
Cattle dominate archaeozoological assemblages from the north-central Europe between the sixth and fifth millennium BC and are frequently considered as exclusively used for their meat. Dairy products may have played a greater role than previously believed. Selective pressure on the lactase persistence mutation has been modelled to have begun between 6000 and 4000 years ago in central Europe. The...
متن کاملDouble muscling in cattle due to mutations in the myostatin gene.
Myostatin (GDF-8) is a member of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily of secreted growth and differentiation factors that is essential for proper regulation of skeletal muscle mass in mice. Here we report the myostatin sequences of nine other vertebrate species and the identification of mutations in the coding sequence of bovine myostatin in two breeds of double-muscled cattle, Belgi...
