Abstract
TO investigate the structure of porcine genes involved in the beta-oxdation of fatty acid, we isolated the short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD), medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD), and long-chain acyl-CoA dehydro genase (LCAD) genes From the pig. The cDNA of SCAD, MCAD and LCAD genes wer e 1899 bp, 1835 bp and 1704 bp long and coded for 413-aa, 422-aa and 430-aa precursor proteins, respectively. Three genes, SCAD, MCAD and LCAD were ma pped to 14p16.2-23.2, 6q32.4-33, and 15q24.2-26.3, respectively.
