Adipocyte-specific secretory factor (ADSF) / resistin, an hormone, is a small cysteine-rich protein secreted from adipose tissue and ADSF / resistin has been implicated in modulating adipogenesis in human and rodents. Although the exact role of ADSF / resistin in bovine has not been identified, it may have directly or indirectly involved in adipocyte differentiation. The objective of this study was to investigate its DNA polymorphism associated with carcass traits in Korean Native Cattle (Hanwoo). To investigate DNA polymorphism in Hanwoo ADSF / resistin gene, blood samples were taken from 295 Hanwoo steers belonging to progeny testing at Hanwoo Improvement Center in Korea.
