Fat deposition is considered an economically important trait in pig breeding programs. Ring finger protein 20 (RNF20), an E3 ubiquitin protein ligase, has been shown to be closely involved in adipogenesis in mice, suggesting its conserved role in pigs. In this study, we obtained the exon sequences of the porcine <i>RNF20</i> gene and characterized its molecular sequence. The porcine <i>RNF20</i> gene contains 20 exons that encode 975 amino acids, and its RING domain is highly conserved across di ...[more]
