Full-length cDNA encoding transthyretin(TTR),a thyroid hormone-binding protein,of Pekin ducks was isolated by means of rapid amplification of cDNA ends(RACE) to investigate the potential involvement of TTR gene in duck lipogenesis.

• 为研究转甲状腺素蛋白(transthyretin,TTR)与肉鸭脂肪代谢的相关性,通过快速扩增cDNA末端技术(RACE)获得北京鸭TTR基因全长cDNA序列,并采用实时荧光定量PCR法对鸭TTR基因表达谱进行研究。
