ZNF423 has a facilitating effect on the adipogenic differentiation of avian preadipocytes

In the poultry industry, excessive fat deposition is considered an undesirable factor for meat quality. Therefore, selection for optimal fat content levels in poultry has become a major breeding goal.To supplement the foundational data of the research on the molecular regulation mechanism of fat deposition, our research identified an important candidate gene, ZNF423, and analyzed its transcription and regulation by the transcription factor NR2F2.We further examined the potentialpathway of this gene on fat deposition in avian species.
