Obestatin, encoded by the same gene as ghrelin, is described as a physiological opponent of ghrelin.
Biologists at the University of California in San Francisco recently discovered that both social and solitary feeding in the worm are controlled by the same gene.
The dogs were chosen because they have inherited a genetic disease caused by the same gene defect as some people with retinitis pigmentosa.
Williamson, L. et al. UV irradiation induces a non-coding RNA that functionally opposes the protein encoded by the same gene.
The work suggests that the genes for color and preference are very close to one another in the genome; the two traits could even be caused by the same gene.
Interestingly, a missense variant in TREM-like transcript 2 (TREML2), a structurally similar protein encoded by the same gene cluster with TREM2 on chromosome 6, has been shown to protect against AD.
Two SIP partners are the same copies of the protein and can be represented by the same gene.
Again, the studies exploring this question often find a surprisingly low number of traits affected by the same gene, compared to the number of traits tested.
However, further research is needed to determine whether they are governed by the same gene(s) or they are simply closely linked.
Glycophorin C (GPC) and glycophorin D (GPD) are highly glycosylated integral membrane proteins of human erythrocytes encoded by the same gene and associated with expression of Gerbich blood group system antigens.
Since the Al resistance and short root phenotype was co-segregated and controlled by the same gene (Fig. 7a), we evaluated the phenotype of each F2 plant based on the short root appearance.
