Molecular cloning and expression analysis of adiponectin and its receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) in the hypothalamus of the Huoyan goose during different stages of the egg-laying cycle

Abstract

Multiple amino acid sequence alignment of the Huoyan goose adiponectin protein with other vertebrate species. The colour black denotes 100 % conserved sequences, and the colour grey indicates non-conservative sequences. Gaps (−) were introduced to maximize the alignment. Sequences for the alignment were obtained from GenBank (accession numbers are in brackets): Anas platyrhynchos (ADA68839.1); Ovis aries (AHV91023.1); Canis lupus familiaris (BAD15362.1); Felis catus (BAF52934.1); Gallus (AAX40986.1); Homo sapiens (NP_004788.1); Meleagris gallopavo (XP_010714799.1); Mus musculus (NP_033735.3); and Sus scrofa (ABQ95350.1).
