Identification of a novel transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta6) gene in fish: regulation in skeletal muscle by nutritional state
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family constitutes of dimeric proteins that regulate the growth, differentiation and metabolism of many cell types, including that of skeletal muscle in mammals. The potential role of TGF-betas in fish muscle growth is not known. RESULTS: Here we report the molecular characterization, developmental and tissue expression and regulation by nutritional state...
