Apoptosis-inducing factor mitochondrion-associated 2 (AIFM2) has been identified as a gene with anti-ferroptosis properties. To explore whether AIFM2 exerts anti-ferroptosis role in yaks (Bos grunniens), we cloned yak AIFM2 gene and analyzed its biological characteristics. The coding region of AIFM2...

Lipids in milk fat globules (MFGs) are critical for nutrition and health, and yak milk, rich in milk fat, is vital for herders. This study used absolute quantitative lipidomics to compare the differences in MFG lipids in mature milk between yak (Y) and German Simmental cattle (GS). Compared with GS,...
