Melanocortin 4 receptor signaling and puberty onset regulation in Xiphophorus swordtails.

General and comparative endocrinology - 1 Sept 2020

Abstract excerpt

Fish of the genus Xiphophorus provide a prominent example of genetic control of male body size and reproductive tactics. In X.nigrensis and X.multilineatus, puberty onset and body length are determined by melanocortin 4 receptor (Mc4r) allelic and copy number variations which were proposed to fine-tune the signaling output of the system. Accessory protein Mrap2 is required for growth across species by affecting...
