[Regulation of VPS28 gene knockdown on the milk fat synthesis in Chinese Holstein dairy].

In a previous genome-wide association study on milk production traits in Chinese Holstein population, we discovered VPS28 gene was highly expressed in mammary gland tissue. Further, a -58C>T mutantion at the 5°-UTR of the gene was significantly associated with milk fat content traits. However, its regulation on milk fat content is still uncertain.
