Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Animal Science

Background:

  • Porcine somatotropin (PST) is a crucial growth hormone in pigs.
  • Understanding PST genetic variations is important for livestock breeding and productivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clone and characterize new complementary DNAs (cDNAs) encoding porcine somatotropin (PST).
  • To investigate the extent of sequence polymorphism within the PST gene in pigs.

Main Methods:

  • Cloning of full-length cDNAs for porcine somatotropin.
  • DNA sequencing and comparative analysis of obtained PST sequences.

Main Results:

  • Three novel full-length porcine somatotropin (PST) cDNAs were successfully cloned.

  • Sequence data demonstrated a high degree of polymorphism in porcine somatotropin.
  • All six previously known and newly identified PST sequences were found to be distinct.

    • Conclusions:

    • The porcine somatotropin (PST) gene exhibits substantial genetic variability.
    • This polymorphism may have implications for swine growth, development, and breeding programs.
