Overexpression of goat STEAP4 promotes the differentiation of subcutaneous adipocytes.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The focus of this study was the six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate 4 (STEAP4) gene, on the basis of the cloned goat STEAP4 gene sequence. Its molecular and expression characteristics were analyzed, and its influence on the differentiation of goat subcutaneous adipocytes was explored through overexpression. Method: Reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) was used to clone the goat STEAP4 sequence, and online tools were used to analyze the molecular characteristic. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression level of STEAP4 in goat tissues and subcutaneous adipocyte differentiation. Liposome transfection, BODIPY, Oil Red O staining, and qPCR were used to explore the effect of overexpression of STEAP4
