Identification of a Membrane Estrogen Receptor in Zebrafish with Homology to Mammalian GPER and Its High Expression in Early Germ Cells of the Testis1
19 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
To study the rapid action of estrogen on the male reproductive system in teleost, a full-length cDNA homologous to the seven-transmembrane receptor GPER of humans and rodents was cloned from the testis of zebrafish. Biological characterization of this cloned zebrafish gper was performed based on its functional expression in cultured eukaryotic cells. Saturation analysis and Scatchard plotting of [(3)H]-estradiol...
