Unique Expression of Gonadotropin-I and -II Subunit Genes in Male and Female Red Seabream (Pagrus major) During Sexual Maturation1
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Two distinct gonadotropins (GTHs) have been demonstrated in a number of teleost fishes. Although the physiological roles of GTHs have been extensively studied in salmonids, little is known about their biological functions in nonsalmonid fishes. In this study, to elucidate the role of GTH-I and GTH-II in reproduction, we cloned the alpha-glycoprotein subunit (alphaGSU) and gonadotropin beta subunits (Ibeta and...
