Abstract excerpt
TCAP (also known as titin-cap or telethonin) is one of the titin interacting Z-disk proteins involved in the regulation and development of normal sarcomeric structure. In this study, we cloned the cDNA and promoter sequences of porcine TCAP gene, which contained a 504 bp full-length coding region. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses showed that porcine TCAP was highly expressed in the skeletal muscle,...
