Abstract excerpt
Muscle specific RING finger protein2 (MuRF2) and Muscle specific RING finger protein3(MuRF3) are two important members of the muscle specific RING finger protein family, which are especially expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues and play critical roles during the myocyte differentiation, development and morphogenesis. In this study, the molecular characteristics of porcine MuRF2 and MuRF3 gene were...
