Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a multi-promoter gene that has complex biological functions and plays an important role in cell differentiation and proliferation, animal growth and metabolism. IGF-I function is of particular importance in embryonic development. In this study, 5' and 3' RACE techniques were used to clone full-length cDNA of the IGF-I gene from the deer liver for the first time. Six...
