Four exons of porcine platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFr) gene expressing transcript 1 and transcript 2 were determined previously. In this study, we cloned and sequenced a new exon, which also initiates transcript 2, and determined the order of 5 exons in the PAFr gene. In addition, two other variants of transcript 2 were found, but no additional variants of transcript 1 were found. Transcript 2 has three variants that were detected in porcine tissues other than in white blood cells.
