Differential expression of the two GH genes during embryonic development of rainbow trout <i>oncorhynchus mykiss</i> in relation with the IGFs system
4 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
The Growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system promotes embryonic growth in higher vertebrates. Such a system exists in salmonids, but exhibits an additional level of complexity resulting from a recent whole genome tetraploidisation. Thus, two nonallelic GH genes are present in the trout genome. Although the two GH genes are similar, the possibility remains that the two genes have evolved...
