Table 4 All genes significantly associated with fatness that are contained between the estimated start and end of the CNVRs identified in this study
CNV ID | Breed | Chromosome | Gene CODE | Gene name | Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
5.D2 | Duroc | 5 | MCHRI_PIG | Melanin concentrating hormone receptor 1 | Regulates functions in the mammalian brain, particularly feeding behaviour; mice lacking MCH eat less and are therefore lean |
5.D2 | Duroc | 5 | F1SM76_PIG | Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha | Involved in metabolic control of the expression of genes encoding fatty acid oxidation |
14.D1 | Duroc | 14 | F1RLV1_PIG | Sodium/glucose transporter | Mediates transport across cellular membranes responsible for active glucose absorption across brush border of cells that lie in the gastrointestinal tract |
14.D1 | Duroc | 14 | F1RLU7_PIG | Sodium/glucose co-transporter | Low affinity sodium/glucose transporter |
