a sequence of the novel splicing variant in Fuqing goat

ACOX1 is vital for fatty acid oxidation and deposition. The alternative splicing events of ACOX1 have not been reported in goats. Here, we found a novel splice variant (ACOX1-SV1) and a complete isoform (ACOX1). ACOX1 and ACOX1-SV1 were expressed at high levels in the liver, spleen, brain and fat in kid and adult goats. In both groups, the mRNA level of ACOX1 was high in fat and that of ACOX1-SV1 was high in liver. These findings should provide new insights on the function of ACOX1.
