The results showed that the full-length CDS sequence of IGFBP-7 gene in Liangshan semi-fine wool sheep was 846 bp in length, encoding 282 amino acids. The CDS sequence shared 99%, 95% and 90% homology with bovine, human and rat, respectively; the amino acid sequence shared 98%, 93% and 89%, respectively. The GenBank accession number was FJ589640.1. The amino acid molecular weight of IGFBP-7 was 29.0 kD, and the theoretical isoelec- tric point (pl) was 8.25. The result of phylogenetic analysis showed that IGFBP-7 gone in Liangshan semi-fine wool sheep exhibited close phylogenetic relationships with bovine, goat and other mammals, and distant phylogenetic relationships with Danio rerio and Haliotis diversicolor. IGFBP-7 gene had uniformly distributed hy- drophobic and hydrophilic regions, harboring one signal peptide, two transmembrane regions, 16 phosphorylation sites, four N-glycosylation sites and one O-glyco- sylation site. The result of secondary structure analysis showed that the random coil, or-helix and β-sheet regions accounted for 64.89%, 19.86% and 15.25%, respectively. The result of tertiary structure analysis showed that IGFBP-7 harbors an IGFBP_N domain and an Ig-like domain. This study provided scientific basis for further investigating the function of IGFBP-7 gene in sheep.展开更多
