abstract：:A novel transcript of the GH gene has been identified in ocular tissues of chick embryos. It is, however, unknown whether this transcript (small chicken GH, scGH) is translated. This possibility was therefore assessed. The expression of scGH mRNA was confirmed by RT-PCR, using primers that amplified a 426-bp cDNA of i...
