TLDR lncRNA MTC affects protein levels in goat skin cells, impacting hair growth.
The study investigates the effects of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MTC on protein expression in skin fibroblasts of the Liaoning Cashmere goat using the iTRAQ technique. The findings reveal that lncRNA MTC significantly influences the expression of various proteins involved in skin and hair follicle development. This research provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hair growth and could contribute to the development of new strategies for improving cashmere production.
