Abstract: This test was intended to construct eukaryotic expression vector of porcine growth hormone secretagogue receptor (pGHS-R), and observe its expression in transiently transfected HEK293T cells. The coding DNA sequence of GSH-R gene was amplified by SOE-PCR technology from porcine genomic DNA and cloned into pcDNA3.1(+) vector, then inserted myc-tag. The positive clone was confirmed by enzyme digestion and sequencing. The expression vector was transiently transfected into HEK293T cells. The expression of pGHS-R protein was identified by Western blotting. The results showed that the CDS of pGHS-R was successfully cloned; the construction of pcDNA3.1(+)-myc/pGHS-R was correct and its expression of pGHS-R protein was confirmed by Western blotting. The results showed that the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+)-myc/pGHS-R was successfully constructed and pGHS-R protein was successfully expressed. The study laid a foundation for further study on GHS-R gene function in vitro.
