Abstract excerpt
Although transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) genes have been described in several species of fish, whether an individual fish possesses more than one member of this multigene family has yet to be established. During this study, three DNA fragments were isolated from the plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) by homology cloning. Sequence analysis revealed that each fragment closely resembled a distinct member of...
