Abstract excerpt
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) regulate development and somatic growth in teleosts; they may be associated with sexual growth dimorphism in the half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis). We found that the full-length GHRH and PACAP gene sequences obtained from females and males consist of 4160, 4159, 2425, and 2446 bp,...
