k-Casein and β-casein alleles in crossbred and Zebu cattle from India using polymerase chain reaction and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes

摘要

Caseins constitute the main part of milk proteins. The genes for the four major types of casein(CN), α_s1-CN, β-CN and k-CN, redise on < 220 kb of the DNA on bovine chromosome 6(Threadgill & Womack, 1990).
