KITS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING INTRAMUSCULAR FAT TISSUE OF HANWOO USING TBX152 AND ZIC1

摘要

The present invention relates to a kit for detecting an abdominal adipose tissue of Korean beef using abdominal adipose tissue specific expression gene TBX152 and ZIC1 of the Korean beef, and a detecting method using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to the kit for detecting the abdominal adipose tissue of the Korean beef by investigating an expression ratio of the TBX152 and ZIC1 genes in an object to be tested, and the detecting method using the same. According to the present invention, the commercialization of the kit for detecting an abdominal adipose specific gene is available. Also, high-quality meat can be produced through the induction of specific fat accumulation within beef loin of the Korean beef, and a body composition control technique can be developed by controlling the contents of fat of the Korean beef. Therefore, body fat control information can be applied to other species.
