Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of molecular genetics, in particular to a molecular marker method for two mutation sites in the 5' regulatory region of the chicken MMP-11 gene and its application in the breeding of chicken precocious puberty traits. Background technique
[0002] Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a class of proteolytic enzymes dependent on zinc ions, which can degrade extracellular matrix, basement membrane, and interstitial matrix, and play an important role in the development of ovarian follicles. MMPs are involved in extracellular matrix (extracellular matrix) , ECM) is the major protease system for degradation and remodeling (Goldman et al., 2004). MMPs cooperate with their tissue inhibitory factor TIMP and other cytokines to play important regulatory roles in biological processes such as follicle growth, ovulation, atresia and degeneration, and have become a new field of reproductive system research (Littlepage et a...
