Abstract excerpt
Enterotoxigenic Eschoerchia coli (ETEC) F4 is a major cause of diarrhea in neonatal and young pigs. The locus encoding intestinal receptor for ETEC F4ab/ac has been mapped to pig chromosome (SSC) 13q41. We previously assigned mucin 20 (MUC20) to SSC13q41 and considered it a candidate for the ETEC F4ab/ac receptor. In this study, the full-length mRNA sequence of the porcine MUC20 gene was determined, revealing two...
