Insulin-Like Growth Factor I in the Teleost Oreochromis mossambicus, the Tilapia: Gene Sequence, Tissue Expression, and Cellular Localization*
1 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
Using reverse transcription-PCR and molecular cloning, the complementary DNA sequence encoding preproinsulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) of a teleost, the tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) was established from liver. At the amino acid level, tilapia IGF-I shows all residues necessary for the maintenance of tertiary structure and shares about 80% identity with IGF-I from other teleosts. The B and A domains of...
