Characterization of RUNX1T1, an Adipogenesis Regulator in Ovine Preadipocyte Differentiation.

ABSTRACT: Runt-related transcription factor 1 translocation partner 1 (RUNX1T1), a potential novel regulator of adipogenesis, exists in two splice variants: a long (RUNX1T1-L) and a short (RUNX1T1-S) isoform. However, there is no data showing the existence of RUNX1T1 in ovine subcutaneous fat at different stages of developmental and its role on ovine adipogenesis. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the presence of RUNX1T1 in subcutaneous fat of five-day-old to 24-month-old sheep and to investigate the role of RUNX1T1 in ovine adipogenesis. In this study, we detected a 1829 bp cDNA fragment of RUNX1T1 which contains a 1815 bp coding sequence that encodes 602-amino acid and 14 bp of 5' untranslated region, respectively. The amino acid sequence of RUNX1
