Summaries for Bestiality

About this section
MalaCards based summary : Bestiality, also known as zoophilia, is related to paraphilia disorder and impulse control disorder. An important gene associated with Bestiality is CPZ (Carboxypeptidase Z), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Peptide ligand-binding receptors and Beta-Adrenergic Signaling. Related phenotypes are shRNA abundance <= 50% and behavior/neurological

Wikipedia : 74 Zoophilia is a paraphilia involving a sexual fixation on non-human animals. Bestiality is cross-species... more...
