Abstract excerpt
MTPAP (mitochondrial poly(A) polymerase) gene plays a role in stabilizing the level of mitochondrial mRNAs and controlling the poly(A) length of human mitochondrial mRNAs. In this study, 2,296 bp partial cDNA sequences of the porcine MTPAP gene were obtained, which contained 1,746 bp full-length coding regions flanked by a 500 bp partial 3′-UTR. The porcine MTPAP gene was assigned to SSC10q14-q16 using the...
