Abstract
Estrogen hormone is an important hormone found to be linked with
reproductive traits and affect the growth, differentiation and function of
reproductive tissues. Estrogen receptor gene (ERα) is considered as
candidate marker for fertility traits in farm animals. The present study was
undertaken with 203 buffaloes from different locations. The Polymerase
Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)
of ER-α gene revealed monomorphic pattern at 171 and 77 bp and
genotyped as GG for all the tested animals, which indicates the fixation of
allele. As a conclusion, monomorphic pattern of Estrogen Receptor-α
(ERα) gene is considered a unique feature that may be related to the
characteristic of buffaloes.
