Porcine 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 isoform: complete coding sequence and polymorphisms
1Institut für Tierhaltung und Tierzüchtung, Fachgebiet Tierhaltung und Leistungsphysiologie, Universität Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany.
Abstract:
11Beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11beta-HSD2) is involved in the regulation of the peripheral glucocorticoid concentrations. Due to the central role of glucocorticoids in protein turnover, 11beta-HSD2 is a candidate gene for optimising production traits in livestock. In addition, mutant 11beta-HSD2 animals may be used as models for human disorders. Here, we present the complete porcine 11beta-HSD2 coding sequence, the RT-PCR strategy for the examination of the coding sequence and the polymorphisms found in the pig.
