Insulin-Like Growth Factor 3 Is Involved in Oocyte Maturation in Zebrafish1
18 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
The gonad-specific expression of a recently discovered Igf subtype (Igf3) in teleost has indicated the important role of this novel Igf in the reproductive functions of fish. In the present study using zebrafish as the model organism, we have further examined the gene expression patterns and the physiological role of Igf3 in the ovary. The igf3 gene in zebrafish was found to be alternatively spliced into two...
