A novel polymorphism in the 5′ untranslated region of theporcine cytochrome b5 (CYB5) gene is associated with decreased fat androstenone level

Z Lin, Y Lou, J Peacock, EJ Squires - Mammalian genome, 2005 - Springer
Raising intact male pigs would have a significant economic impact on the pork industry;
however, the presence of 16-androstene (a major cause of boar taint) in meat from male
pigs would be highly objectionable to consumers. In pigs, a positive correlation has been
found between cytochrome b5 (CYB5) and production of 16-androstene. The search for
polymorphism of CYB5 and functional analysis of polymorphism found should have an
important impact on the efforts to develop genetic markers to select for low androstenone …
