Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP), which plays a regulatory role in lipid metabolism and immune regulation, is down-regulated expressed in F(1) hybrids Landrace × Yorkshire skeletal muscle. Here we described the molecular characterization of porcine TXNIP gene. The full-length cDNA contains a coding sequence of 1,176 bp nucleotides with untranslated regions of 263 bp at 5'-end and 441 bp at 3'-end,...
