This book explores the ghrelin receptor gene (GHSR1a), a key regulator of growth and energy metabolism. It highlights the gene’s unique molecular evolution and how its variations affect growth and fatty acid traits in domestic animals and humans in a sex-dependent fashion.
Yuki Fujimori
Masanori Komatsu holds a PhD in Animal Science, and has engaged in genetic complement deficiencies in rabbits (C8α-γ/C3), and swine MHC/complement genes. He has also engaged in QTL mapping for growth traits and gene expression in endometrium in Wagyu, and in molecular biology for the ghrelin receptor gene in Wagyu. He established a laboratory (KLCBDA) in 2015, where he has continued with his studies of ghrelin receptor genes.
