Abstract excerpt
Fast skeletal troponin C (TNNC2) plays a key role in the regulation of muscle contraction, and modulates the Ca2+-activation characteristics of muscle fibers. In this study, we characterized the full-length cDNA of the porcine TNNC2 gene, which is composed of a 65 bp 5'UTR, a 483 bp (ORF) and a 174 bp 3' UTR. Northern blot analysis indicated that the TNNC2 gene had one transcript of approximately 0.7 kb and was...
