    abstract = {TCAP is one of the titin interacting Z-disc proteins involved in the regulation and development of normal sarcomeric structure. In this study, researchers cloned the 5' upstream region of porcine <I>TCAP</I> gene. Bioinformatic analysis of the 5' regulatory region has revealed that in addition to several ubiquitous transcription factors binding sites (SP1, AP1 and C/EBP) were found, several putative muscle-specific transcription factor binding sites (MyoD, MyoG and MEF2) were present in this region. Tissue expression analysis showed that the porcine <I>TCAP</I> gene was expressed abundantly in skeletal muscle. The study suggested that <I>TCAP</I> gene might be a prospective candidate gene affecting muscle mass and meat quality traits in the pig and would lay the groundwork for the further investigations on the regulation and physiological function of porcine <I>TCAP</I> gene.}
