Goose-type lysozyme gene of the chicken: sequence, genomic organization and expression reveals major differences to chicken-type lysozyme gene.
This report describes the cloning, sequencing and expression pattern of the chicken goose-type lysozyme gene. The cDNA sequence was found to have no homology to that of the chicken-type lysozyme gene and exhibits a completely different exon-intron organization. In addition, goose-type lysozyme displays an overlapping but different tissue expression pattern in chickens than chicken-type lysozyme.
