Expression analysis, single nucleotide polymorphisms within SIRT4 and SIRT7 genes and their association with body size and meat quality traits in Qinchuan cattle

Silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) proteins, or sirtuins, are nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylases that connect metabolism with longevity in lower organisms. In mammals, there are seven Sir2 homologs, namely, silent information regulators (SIRT1–7). SIRT4 and SIRT7 genes pla...
