Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding solute carrier family 6 member 14 (SLC6A14) has been considered as a candidate gene affecting human obesity. In this study, full-length cDNA (2237 bp) and DNA sequence (24 541 bp) of the porcine SLC6A14 gene were isolated. The porcine SLC6A14 cDNA contains a 5’-untranslated region of 57 bp, a 3’-untranslated region of 254 bp, and an open reading frame of 1926 bp, encoding a deduced...
