✦ Synopsis

The porcine major histocompatibility complex, also called swine lymphocyte antigen (SLA) complex, is of particular interest not only because of its central role in the immune response, but also because of its influence on many traits such as reproduction, fatness and meat quality. The porcine FABGL (FabG (beta‐ketoacyl‐[acyl‐carrierprotein] reductase, Escherichia coli) like) gene, coding for a 17__β__‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17__β__‐HSD), is a candidate gene for these traits. The complete gene was sequenced and compared with human and mouse FABGL sequences. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 85 and 83% sequence identity to human and mouse sequences, respectively. Polymorphicic __Bbv__I and __Dde__I restriction sites were found in the porcine FABGL gene. The promoter was compared with the promoter regions of human and mouse FABGL sequence in order to identify putative regulatory elements. The transcription profile of the porcine gene was determined and showed a widespread tissue distribution.

A porcine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone, containing the melanocortin 2 receptor gene (__MC2R__) was isolated. The complete coding sequence of the __MC2R__ gene, contained in 1 exon, was determined. Polymerase chain reaction‐single stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR‐SSCP) was per

The present report describes the isolation and genetic characterization of the porcine apolipoprotein E (ape‐E) gene. A single positive recombinant phage clone containing a 10·7‐kb insert was isolated from a porcine genomic library, and a 4·2‐kb fragment was subcloned and sequenced. The 4·2‐kb fragm

Sequence analysis of cDNA products, derived from adult porcine testis mRNA, gave overlapping nucleotide sequence correlating to 1952 bp of the sperm adhesion molecule 1 (__SPAM1__) gene. This sequence was shown to be homologous to __SPAM1__ genes known in other mammalian species and contained an ope
