Identification and expression analysis of ghrelin gene in common carp Cyprinus carpio

2008-05-01

Abstract excerpt

A ghrelin gene has been cloned and sequenced in common carp Cyprinus carpio. Ghrelin cDNA is composed of 461 bp [with a 36-bp 5′-untranslated region (UTR) and a 113-bp 3′-UTR], which translates into a protein of 103 amino acid residues. Carp ghrelin (preproghrelin) contained a predicted signal peptide of 26 amino acid residues, the ghrelin domain (Gly ²⁷-Val ¹⁵) and C-terminal peptide (Gly ⁴⁶-Phe ¹⁰³). Homology an...
