Abstract: The author performed the comparative analysis of carnitine palmitoyl transferase(CPT)gene in different tissues from sheep and goats by quantification PCR. The results showed that CPT1A mRNA expression in sheep liver and spleen was higher than CPT1B and CPT2 expression in sheep liver and spleen. Expression of CPT1B mRNA in the external oblique muscle of sheep was higher than CPT1A, CPT2 mRNA expression in the external oblique muscle of sheep. CPT1A mRNA expressed in goat spleen was higher than the expression of CPT1B and CPT2 mRNA in goat spleen. CPT1B mRNA in goats hind legs, biceps femoris and external oblique muscle were higher than CPT1A, CPT2 mRNA in goat hind shares two expression in the biceps. CPT1A mRNA expression in the liver of sheep was significantly higher than the expression of CPT1A mRNA in goats (P<0.05). CPT1A, CPT1B, CPT2 gene expression in sheep heart, spleen, lumbar major muscle was significantly higher than the expression in goat(P<0.05), the CPT1A, CPT1B, CPT2 gene expression in the hind legs in goat was significant higher than the amount of expression in sheep(P<0.05). CPT family gene expression in the organization of sheep, goat differences might be associated with each gene expression patterns in different types of muscle tissue fiber content of fat deposition and other factors.
