Vita ferus Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi, the location of the growth hormone receptor gene for Bos Taurus (bovine) is 20q17. This can be found in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The ID for this gene is GenBank: AF044258.1. I do not know of any referenced diseases associated with a dysfunctional GHR in Bos Taurus however I think it would be safe to assume it would be highly associated with in the myogenesis process (formation of muscle tissue). Here is a paper that might help you but the site only provides the abstract. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022030298757601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
