Early embryonic expression of the growth hormone family protein genes in the developing rainbow trout,Oncorhynchus mykiss
1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
In fish, growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL) and somatolactin (SL) are three major peptide hormones produced in the pituitary gland. Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Southern blot analysis of the amplified products, the expression of GH, PRL, and SL genes were determined during the embryonic development in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The mRNA for GH, PRL and SL were...
