The adenohypophysial hormones have been believed to have evolved from several
ancestral genes by duplication followed by evolutionary divergence. To understand the …

This work intends to provide an updated and extensive overview on the PCR-based
methods for fish and fishery products authentication. Various techniques such as PCR …

We have developed an “all fish” growth hormone (GH) chimeric gene construct by using an
antifreeze protein gene (AFP) promoter from ocean pout linked to a chinook salmon GH …

The elucidation of the molecular structure of salmon growth hormone (GH) in the mid-1980's
paved the way for a new era of endocrinological research. Establishment of homologous …

The phylogeny of Oncorhynchus has previously been studied using a variety of
morphological and genetic characters, but two unresolved problems remain: the position of …

We have cloned the chicken (c) growth hormone (GH)-encoding gene cGH and analyzed its
nucleotide sequence including 500 bp of the 5′-flanking region. The cGH gene consists of …

Publisher Summary This chapter examines the structure and evolution of fish growth
hormone and insulin-like growth factor genes. Growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL) …

The Wnt‐1 (int‐1) gene was originally identified as an oncogene, but its normal function is in
embryogenesis. The gene is the vertebrate homologue of the Drosophila segment polarity …

Abstract Growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL) and somatolactin (SL) are single chain
proteins structurally and functionally related. Fish PRL and GH receptors (PRLR, GHR) have …

Growth hormone (GH) is a polypeptide which is an important regulator of development and
somatic growth in teleosts, and may be associated with the mechanisms which drive sexual …
