In this work, for the first time, the bovine leptin receptor gene was fully characterized by sequencing the whole coding region and part of the 5’ flanking region. A group of 95 Holstein cows was genotyped in order to search for SNP at both the LEPR and LEP genes, and to associate them with milk and morphological traits. Nine novel SNP in the leptin receptor gene and one novel SNP in the leptin gene were detected. Four SNP of the leptin receptor gene and one SNP of leptin gene showed a significant effect on one or more analyzed traits, and, in all cases, the greatest effect was observed on fat content. This study provided knowledge of the existence of further polymorphisms in the leptin receptor and leptin genes that have an influence on some important economic traits.展开更多

Both obesity gene (ob gene) and leptin receptor gene (OBR gene) are thought to play a major role in controlling of body fat mass as well as body weight. The result of RT-PCR shows that levels of pig OBR mRNA are higher in hypothalamus, lung and liver, and lower expression can be detected in other tissues. Total RNA purified from 11 different organs and tissues have been hybridized with pig OBR cDNA probes. The hybridization signals are shown in 7 organs and tissues. 4.1 and 3.8 kb bands were observed from hypothalamus, whereas 3.8 and 3.5 kb bands were observed in other tissues instead. The nearly complete sequence of the extracellular domain of pig OBR gene was obtained. The homology of sequence is 89.2% between pig and human, 80.3% between pig and mouse.
