Meat tenderness represents a complex assembly of different cellular pathways. As a consequence, genomics studies have revealed many different proteins considered as tenderness markers. So it is difficult to have an overview of tenderness in terms of cellular pathways. In this work cellular pathways of tenderness were analyzed, an interactome of 330 proteins was designed, and explanations of tenderization processes were proposed.
