Sequencing and analysis of partial promoter region of Alpha Lactalbumin gene in Iranian Dromedary and Bactrian camels

Alpha lactalbumin is one of the major protein of camel milk whey. The aim of this project is to analysis of alpha lactalbumin gene promoter region with about 1020 bp length which probably are present in both Iranian bactrians and dromedaries camel species. Blood samples were collected from 10 persons dromedaries camel from Research Center of Fariman,Mashhad,Iran and 5 persons bactrians camel from Research Center of Meshkin Shahr, Ardebil, Iran. Region of interest was amplified and sequenced by using of specific primers. After the analysis of obtained results, 5 haplotypes (4mutation) in dromedaries and 4haplotypes (3 mutation) in bactrians were detected. Also 7 motif transcription factor binding in dromedaries and 7 motif in bactrians were seen.
