Gene Location, Expression, and Function of FNDC5 in Meishan Pigs

Abstract Irisin is a new muscular regulatory factor that is generated by the cleavage of its precursor protein fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5). Irisin promotes fat consumption due to its stimulatory role in the browning of the adipocytes in mice. Currently, there is no repor...
