Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies in the FTO gene have identified SNPs correlating with obesity and type 2 diabetes. In mice, lack of Fto function leads to intrauterine growth retardation and lean phenotype, whereas in human it is lethal. The aim of this study in a pig model was to determine the localization of the FTO protein in different tissues and cell compartments, in order to investigate potential targets of...
