Abstract excerpt
The upstream stimulatory factor 1 (USF1) is a transcription factor controlling expression of several genes involved in lipid and glucose homeostasis. In this study, two isoforms of the porcine USF1 gene were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), termed USF1 wild-type (wt) and USF1/CD, both of them contain a helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (HLH-LZ) conserved domain.
