FRAGMENT ENCODING SWINE TSH (THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE) RECEPTOR AND USE THEREOF

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a DNA fragment encoding a swine TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) receptor and uses thereof. PSOLUTION: The DNA fragment is a DNA having a base sequence encoding a specific amino acid sequence or another specific base sequence in which one or a plurality of bases are deleted, substituted, inserted or added in the sequences or hybridizing with the DNAs under stringent conditions and encoding a swine-derived TSH receptor. Furthermore, an expression vector is prepared by inserting any DNA fragment described above into a plasmid or a phage and a recombinant swine TSH receptor is obtained by using the expression vector, transforming a host cell and culturing the resultant transformant. A method for producing the recombinant swine TSH receptor is provided. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
