Notes 2/16/16

Looking for housekeeping intestine genes so that we can make sure our samples are accurate

over-expressed sequences match:

Snake 1: matches with an mRNA sequence from an intestine sample of an elephant fish

Snake 2: SLC15A1

Snake 3:

Snake 4: SLC6A19

Snake 5: SLC15A1

Snake 6:

Housekeeping genes

BOAT1 (SLC6A19) solute carrier family 6 (neutral amino acid transporter), member 19, mRNA (housekeeping gene BOAT1) found in intestine and kidney

ASCT2 (SLC1A5) expressed in the kidney but expression is high in the jejunum and colon but lower in duodenum and ileum

SLC15A1 protein coding gene: encodes an intestinal hydrogen peptide cotransporter that is a member of the solute carrier family 15.
