The rabbit is an important species as both a production animal and as a model organism in physiology, pharmaceutical, and numerous other studies. Similar to other species, the rabbit skeletal muscle proteome has been characterized, first using 2DE mapping and more recently using high‐throughput shotgun proteomics. This article is a commentary on “Shotgun proteomics analysis of the sarcoplasmic reticulum preparations from rabbit skeletal muscle” (Z. Liu et al., Proteomics , 2013, 13 , 2335–2338). Herein, we present the reasons why the manuscript is of high relevance to three major fields: farm animal, rabbit, and muscle/meat proteomics.
