Abstract excerpt
Follistatin (FST) is a single-chain gonadal protein involving in various biological effects. FST plays important roles in not only ovary development but also body growth, whereas myostatin (MSTN) negatively regulates muscle growth. In this study, FST gene in bighead carp (HynFST) was cloned and characterized. A 5797 bp genomic sequence of HynFST, consisting six exons and five introns were cloned. The full-length...
