title: [Isolation and characterization of the porcine glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gene by CATS].
abstract: Primers for the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gene were designed from a human cDNA sequence aligned with the mouse GFAP gene on the principle of comparative anchor tagged sequence (CATS). The 412 bp PCR product isolated from Chinese Erhualian pig genome was characterized as the porcine GFAP gene by comparing the sequence with the GenBank database. The chromosomal location of the GFAP gene is on pig Chr: 12(p11-(2/3)p13) using pig x rodent somatic cell hybrid panel.
