Tóm tắt

The complete coding sequences of 3 porcine genes —ASPA, NAGA, andHEXA — were amplified by the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) based on the conserved sequence information of the mouse or other mammals and referenced pig ESTs. These 3 novel porcine genes were then deposited in the NCBI database and assigned GeneIDs: 100142661, 100142664 and 100142667. The phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the porcineASPA, NAGA, andHEXA all have closer genetic relationships with theASPA, NAGA, andHEXA of cattle. Tissue expression profile analysis was also carried out and results revealed that swineASPA, NAGA, andHEXA genes were differentially expressed in various organs, including skeletal muscle, the heart, liver, fat, kidney, lung, and small and large intestines. Our experiment is the first one to establish the foundation for further research on these 3 swine genes.
