lncRNAs play crucial roles in fat metabolism in animals. Previously, we have compared the mRNA transcriptome profiles between seven fat‐type Chinese pig breeds and one lean‐type Western breed (Yorkshire, YY). The associations between differentially expressed (DE) genes and phenotypical traits were investigated. In the present study, to further expl...

Glucose transporter proteins 2 and 4 (GLUT2 and GLUT4) play important roles in glucose transport and energy metabolism. Changes in the levels of GLUT2 and GLUT4 mRNA were measured in longissimus dorsi muscle from the lean Yorkshire and fat Tibetan pig breeds at six different time points (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months) with quantitative real-time poly...

... Examples include insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) [11], and protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit gamma 3 (PRKAG3) [12]. Beyond protein-coding genes, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) also play crucial roles in the development of skeletal muscle and adipose through various regulatory mechanisms; therefore, they are also closely associated with meat yield and quality traits [13][14][15][16]. ...
... SLC2A2, also known as glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2), encodes a glucose transporter in the liver, intestine, and kidney epithelium [48]. Liang et al. found that SLC2A2 gene expression was associated with pig growth rate and could affect fat deposition in pigs [49]. Furthermore, epidermal growth factor additives appeared to promote pig growth by increasing SLC2A2 gene expression in the pig small intestine [50,51]. ...
