Citrate synthase (CS) is a key enzyme of the Krebs tricarboxylic acid cycle. A 1.4 kb porcine CS cDNA probe was used to chromosomally localize the CS gene in pigs by in situ hybridization. Two in situ hybridization experiments were conducted. Although the first experiment indicated a distinct signal on the 5p12-p13 bands, a secondary signal was observed on the 13q24-q32 bands. Hence, a second in situ hybridization experiment was conducted at higher stringency. The results demonstrated a consistent signal on the 5p12-p13 bands, and the signal on chromosome 13 was scattered with no prominent secondary peak. The CS gene was therefore assigned to the p12-p13 bands of chromosome 5 in pigs.

D002950 Citrate (si)-Synthase Enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (CITRIC ACID CYCLE). It catalyzes the reaction of oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA to form citrate and coenzyme A. This enzyme was formerly listed as EC 4.1.3.7. Citrate Synthase,Synthase, Citrate
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
