Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are members of the superfamily of lipid-binding proteins (LBP). So far 9 different FABPs, with tissue-specific distribution, have been identified: L (liver), I (intestinal), H (muscle and heart), A (adipocyte), E (epidermal), Il (ileal), B (brain), M (myelin) and T (testis). The primary role of all the FABP family members is regulation of fatty acid uptake and intracellular transport. The structure of all FABPs is similar- the basic motif characterizing these proteins is β-barrel, and a single ligand (e.g. a fatty acid, cholesterol, or retinoid) is bound in its internal water-filled cavity. Despite the wide variance in the protein sequence, the gene structure is identical. The FABP genes consist of 4 exons and 3 introns and a few of them are located in the same chromosomal region. For example, A-FABP, E-FABP and M-FABP create a gene cluster. Because of their physiological properties some FABP genes were tested in order to identify mutations altering lipid metabolism. Furthermore, the porcine A-FABP and H-FABP were studied as candidate genes with major effect on/fatness traits.

The gene encoding solute carrier family 6 member 14 (SLC6A14) has been considered as a candidate gene affecting human obesity. In this study, full-length cDNA (2237 bp) and DNA sequence (24 541 bp) of the porcine SLC6A14 gene were isolated. The porcine SLC6A14 cDNA contains a 5'-untranslated region of 57 bp, a 3' -untranslated region of 254 bp, and an open reading frame of 1926 bp, encoding a deduced protein of 642 amino acids with a molecular mass of 72. 475 kDa and an isoelectric point of 7.82. The genomic structure of the porcine SLC6A14 gene is similar to mammalian orthologs, particularly in terms of exon size and exon/intron boundaries. It comprises 14 exons and 13 introns. A semi-quantitative RT-PCR showed that the porcine SLC6A14 mRNA expression was tissue-specific. Four SLC6A14 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified, and 3 informative SNPs were chosen for genotvping in a White Duroc × Erhualian resource population with phenotvpe data of growth and fatness traits. The association analysis showed that the c. 1438 G>A nonsynonymous polymorphism was associated with birth weight and 21-day body weight (P < 0.05), while g.7944 A>T was associated with 46-day body weight. Linkage and radiation hybrid mapping assigned SLC6A14 to a region around SW1522 on SSCXp13, which did not fall in the confidence interval of the quantitative trait locus (QTL) for growth and fatness traits on SSCX in the resource population. These results indicate that SLC6A14 is not a positional candidate gene for the QTL affecting fatness and growth traits in pigs.

Fat content of carcass is an important multigenic trait in pig breeding. There are reports indicating several chromosomes, e.g. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14 and 18 which possibly harbour QTLs for fatness traits. Among QTL candidate genes there are leptin (LEP) and its receptor (Lepr), both playing essential role in food intake and energy balance. Moreover, expression level and polymorphism of the adipocyte specific transcription factors, such as CREB (cAMP response element binding protein) or C/EBP (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein) may also cause phenotypic variation of the fatness traits. Some of the candidate QTLs, as Lep, Lepr, C/EBP and additionally H-FABP (fatty acid binding protein gene) and RYR1, are localized on chromosome 6. It is foreseen that searching for polymorphisms of the chosen genes may reveal association between a genotype and phenotypic variation of selected fatness traits. However, the studies are complex and require analysis of numerous genes.Cited are 71 references.
