5 ǀ CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this study reports the molecular characterization
Bioinformatics analysis and expression profile of the cpOAS1gene.
Molecular description of the coding region of cpOAS1 would provide an
opportunity to explore SNP markers and their association with goat
reproduction potential. The prediction of structural, physicochemical,
functional and immunological properties is a good indicator of
expression in an heterologous system. Detection of the increased level
of cpOAS1 mRNA and protein in the endometrium during pregnancy suggests
its probable function in the antiviral response as well as cell
proliferation, growth and differentiation during pregnancy.
Nevertheless, these studies warrant further investigation to locate the
OAS1 in uterine endometrium and to know the exact role of OAS1 together
with other isoforms of the OAS gene in the conceptus implantation and
placentation in does.
