Immunobiochemical Characterization of Native Leptin from Goat (Capra hircus): Serodiagnostic Potentiality Revealed

Nucleotide sequence of cDNA encoding for preprochymosin in native goat (Capra hircus) from Iran

Prochymosin is one of the most important aspartic proteinases used as a milk-clotting enzyme in cheese production. In the present investigation we report sequence of cDNA encoding goat ( Capra hircus ) preprochymosin and compare its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with sequences of other ruminants preprochymosin. As bovine prochymosin, the caprine prochymosin cDNA encodes 365 amino ...

Superovulation response of upgraded indigenous Philippine goat (Capra hircus).

Characterization of microRNAs from goat (Capra hircus) by Solexa deep-sequencing technology.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important class of small noncoding RNAs that are highly conserved in plants and animals. Many miRNAs are known to mediate a myriad of cell processes, including proliferation and differentiation, via the regulation of some transcription and signaling factors, which are closely related to muscle development and disease. In this study, small RNA cDNA libraries of Boer goa...

Prenatal Development of Pelvic Urethra in Goat (Capra hircus)

The study was conducted on the embryo/foeti of goat from 0-150 days of gestation, divided into group I (0-30 days), group II (31-60 days), group III (61-90 days), group IV (91-120 days) and group V (121-150 days of gestation). In group I whole embryo was processed and serial sections were cut whereas, in rest of the groups, pelvic urethra was dissected out and the tissues from the representativ...

Ultrastructure of the Hepatic Sinusoid of the Goat Capra Hircus

I t is generally agreed that the hepatic sinusoidal lining is discontinuous and that no basement membrane as such exists in the livers of rats (7-9, 14-16, 19, 20, 22), mice (5, 10, 11, 21), dogs (16), rabbits (1, 18), pig embryos (1), frogs (8), developed chick embryos (12), and humans (4, 6, 16). However, several investigators have called attention to patches of "basement membranel ike" mater...
