Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (Angptl8) is a new constituent of angiopoietin-related protein family. In the present study, Landrace × Yorkshire pigs, C57BL/6J mice, and Wistar rat were used as experimental animals. Using normal PCR, T-A cloning, RACE, and other experimental techniques, full length of porcine Angptl8 gene was cloned. Through real-time PCR, Angptl8 expression was detected in assorted tissues (kidney, heart, spleen, liver, lung, abdominal fat, and back longest muscle) of different animals. The present result showed that the full-le...
