Research Progress on Regulation of lncRNA on Lipid Metabolism in Ruminants
The metabolism of lipids is crucial for growth,development,and reproduction.Many economic traits such as backfat thickness,intramuscular fat content and milk fat percentage of ruminant livestock are closely related to lipid metabolism.Long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)is a non-coding RNA with a length of more than 200 nucleotides.In recent years,it has been discovered that lncRNA can play a crucial role in body metabolism by interfering with gene expression,regulating enzyme activity,and competing for target sites.In the study of livestock economic traits,lncRNA can affect intramuscular fat deposition and milk fat percentage by regulating lipid metabolism,thus affecting meat and milk quality traits of ruminant livestock.This paper reviews the regulatory effects of lncRNA on beef and milk production,aiming to provide a theoretical basis for improving the economic traits of ruminants.
