Molecular characterization of thyroid peroxidase gene in porcine (Sus scrofa).

Abstract excerpt

Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is the key enzyme involved in thyroid hormone synthesis. Several mutations in the TPO gene may affect the normal growth and development of mammals. In this study, the TPO gene was mapped, its expression level was determined in thyroid grand at the age of 1, 20, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days for Jinhua pig, the alternative splicing form was searched and the single nucleotide polymorphism...
