Isolation and Characterization of Myostatin Complementary Deoxyribonucleic Acid Clones from Two Commercially Important Fish: Oreochromis mossambicus and Morone chrysops
2001-04-01
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, skeletal muscle mass is negatively regulated by a muscle-derived growth/differentiating factor named myostatin (MSTN) that belongs to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily. Although putative MSTN homologs have been identified from several vertebrates, nonmammalian orthologs remained poorly defined. Thus, we isolated and characterized MSTN complementary DNA clones from the skeletal muscle of the...
