Sequence and evolution of guinea pig preproinsulin DNA.
نویسنده
چکیده
Guinea pig insulin exhibits an unusually high degree of divergence from the conserved insulins of other mammals. cDNA clones encoding guinea pig preproinsulin were isolated, and their nucleic acid sequences were determined. Comparisons of the nucleic acid sequence and its predicted amino acid sequence with sequences encoding insulins of other species revealed that the gene encoding guinea pig preproinsulin evolved from the same ancestral mammalian gene as other known mammalian insulin genes.

Karyotype of Hairless Guinea pig
Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...
متن کاملMorphometrical Study of the Temporal Bone and Auditory Ossicles in Guinea Pig
In this research, anatomical descriptions of the structure of the temporal bone and auditory ossicles have been performed based on dissection of ten guinea pigs. The results showed that, in guinea pig temporal bone was similar to other animals and had three parts; squamous, tympanic and petrous .The tympanic part was much better developed and consisted of oval shaped tympanic bulla with many re...
متن کاملEvolution of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase intracellular targeting: structural and functional analysis of the guinea pig gene.
The distribution of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase 1 (AGT) within liver cells has changed many times during mammalian evolution. Depending on the particular species, AGT can be found in mitochondria or peroxisomes, or mitochondria and peroxisomes. In some cases significant cytosolic AGT is also present. In the livers of most rodents, AGT has what is thought to be the more 'ancestral' distr...
متن کاملGuinea Pigs Possess a Highly Mutated Gene for L-Gulono-y-lactone
Guinea pigs cannot synthesize L-ascorbic acid because of their deficiency in L-gulono-y-lactone oxidase, a key enzyme for the biosynthesis of this vitamin in higher animals. In this study we isolated the L-gulonoy-lactone oxidase gene of the rat and the homologue of this gene of the guinea pig by screening rat and guinea pig genomic DNA libraries in X phage vectors, respectively, using a rat L-...

Previous studies indicate that Matricaria chamomilla (MC), a folk remedy plant, is very useful in the treatment of spasmogenic bowel diseases but the way of its action is not clear. For this purpose, we studied the effect of MC extract on the electrically activation in Guinea-Pig ileum in an invitro model. We used guinea pig in this study. After of kill, we brouhght out a piece of ileum and fix...
