In silico and in situ characterization of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) gnrh3 (sGnRH) gene
21 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) is responsible for stimulation of gonadotropic hormone (GtH) in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG). The regulatory mechanisms responsible for brain specificity make the promoter attractive for in silico analysis and reporter gene studies in zebrafish (Danio rerio). RESULTS: We have characterized a zebrafish [Trp7, Leu8] or salmon (s) GnRH variant,...
