One of the 11 members in the family of 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferases (AGPATs), AGPAT6, isresponsible for the second step in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol ineukaryotes. The AGPAT6 gene is highly expressed in brown adiposetissue, mammary gland epithelial cells and many other tissues. In this study,the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique was applied todetect sites of polymorphism in the bovine AGPAT6 gene, and twosingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected in the exon 1 and exon12. Thirty-three traits associated with the meat quality and the carcass werealso measured in Chinese Simmental-cross steers. The association between thetwo SNPs and the traits was then analyzed. The polymorphism siteEX1_303T > C was significantly associated with the omasumweight, liver weight, pH value of the beef (carcass), fat coverage rate ofthe carcass, fat color score, kidney weight and back fat thickness. Thepolymorphism site EX12_299G > A was significantly associatedwith bone net weight, forehoof weight, hind feet weight, the fat coveragerate of the carcass, the head and heart weight and the marbling score. Thus,the polymorphisms in the AGPAT6 gene might be important geneticfactors that influence the carcass yield and meat quality of beef cattle andmay be useful markers of meat quality traits in future marker-assistedselection programs for the breeding and production of beef cattle
