Evaluation of bovine chemerin (RARRES2) gene variation on beef cattle production traits

A previous study in cattle based on >48,000 markers identified markers on chromosome 4 near the chemerin gene associated with average daily feed intake (ADFI) in steers (P<0.008). Chemerin is an adipokine associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome in humans, representing a strong c...
