Abstract excerpt
MAGEL2 (melanoma antigen-like gene 2) is essential for circadian function, metabolism and reproduction in mammals. This study was conducted to investigate transcriptional regulation and functional importance in the placenta of porcine MAGEL2. Quantitative real-time PCR showed that MAGEL2 was highly expressed in porcine hypothalamus, pituitary and placenta (P<0.05). The gene was down-regulated in Meishan but...
