Ontogenetic and tissue-specific expression of preproghrelin in the Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.
17 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Ghrelin is a conserved vertebrate hormone that affects both GH release and appetite. We have cloned and characterized Atlantic halibut preproghrelin cDNA and examined for the first time preproghrelin expression during fish larval development using quantitative real-time PCR. In addition, cellular sites of expression in larvae and tissue-specific expression in 3-year-old halibut were studied. A full-length cDNA...
