Molecular cloning, sequence characterization, and gene expression profiling of a novel water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) gene, AGPAT6.
Several 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferases (AGPATs) can acylate lysophosphatidic acid to produce phosphatidic acid. Of the eight AGPAT isoforms, AGPAT6 is a crucial enzyme for glycerolipids and triacylglycerol biosynthesis in some mammalian tissues. We amplified and identified the complete coding sequence (CDS) of the water buffalo AGPAT6 gene by using the reverse transcription-polym...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and expression profile of ghrelin gene during different reproductive phases in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).
Ghrelin, a novel motilin-related endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagouge receptor, is implicated in various biological functions, including regulation of female reproduction. But the presence of ghrelin and its role in reproductive functions in buffalo, a species with poor reproductive efficiency, is not known. In the present study full-length ghrelin cDNA was isolated from bubaline a...
متن کاملIdentification, molecular characterization, and tissue expression of parathyroid hormone-related protein gene (PTHrP) from water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is involved in the deposition of milk calcium in mammal lactation, but its role in buffalo is unclear. In this study, the full-length coding sequence of the water buffalo PTHrP gene was first isolated using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The protein was then subjected to molecular characterization using bioinformatic methods, and the...
متن کاملA STUDY OF PROTEASE INHIBITOR GENE POLYMORPHISM BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis)
Protease inhibitor (PI) genes belong to the superfamily of serine protease inhibitors that includes C1 esterase, antithrombin, and α1antichymotrypsin, among others. The primary role of PI is to protect tissues against proteolytic digestion by neutrophil elastase. PI is also found to be associated with increased milk and fat yields, increased productive life and decreased somatic cell score. The...
متن کاملWater buffalo (Bubalus bubalis): complete nucleotide mitochondrial genome sequence.
In this work, we report the whole sequence of the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) mitochondrial genome. The water buffalo mt molecule is 16.355 base pair length and shows a genome organization similar to those reported for other mitochondrial genome. These new data provide an useful tool for many research area, i.e. evolutionary study and identification of food origin.
