  • Bromodomain-containing protein 2 (BRD2) is a nuclear serine/threonine kinase involved in transcriptional regulation. We investigated the expression and association of the BRD2 gene as a candidate gene for meat quality traits in Berkshire pigs. BRD2 mRNA was expressed at relatively high levels in muscle tissue. Statistical analysis revealed that the c.1709G>C polymorphism of the BRD2 gene was significantly associated with carcass weight, meat color ($a^*$, redness), protein content, cooking loss, water-holding capacity, carcass temperatures 4, 12 and 24 h postmortem, and the 24 h postmortem pH in 384 Berkshire pigs. Therefore, this polymorphism in the porcine BRD2 gene may be used as a candidate genetic marker to improve meat quality traits in pigs.

  • Neuroscience and molecular biology studies show that inappropriate butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity as well as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity increases the risk and/or progression of Alzheimer's disease. BuChE may also regarded to participate in the transformation of Abeta (${\beta}$-amyloid) from an initially benign form to an eventually malignant form associated with neuritic tissue degeneration and clinical dementia.
