Table 4 Inferred biological functions of LSTs.
From: Functional annotation of novel lineage-specific genes using co-expression and promoter analysis
Cluster | LSTs | Function Inference |
|---|---|---|
LIVR | 5BP (ncRNA) 237NG 39NG 266NG | Involved in glycerophospholipid/fatty acid metabolism, cell signaling and protein trafficking in epithelial cells. 39NG possibly plays a role in DNA repair processes in response to DNA damage. Responsive to differences in pre-partum plane of nutrition at time-points +1, +14 after onset of lactation (Figures |
PLAC | 104JE 22JE (ncRNA) 34FL | Preferential expression in placentome; involved in immune response, acute phase and inflammatory processes. 34FL is a pre-term and term placentome-specific SSLP-1 glycoprotein, possibly involved with PAG2 and PTGS2 in the final events before parturition at the feto-maternal interface. |
THYM | 383NG 21PW | Preferentially expressed in thymus and may play a role in immune system development and cell-proliferation. 21PW may play a role in gene activation in fetal thymus development. |
