| growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor of naked carp (gymnocypris przewalskii) in lake qinghai: expression in different water environments. | here, we report the cloning and characterization of growth hormone (gh), insulin-like growth factor-i (igf-i) and igf-ii from naked carp (gymnocypris przewalskii), a native teleost fish of lake qinghai in the qinghai-tibet plateau of china. the gh of naked carp encodes for a predicted amino acid sequence showing identities of 63%, 63%, 91% and 94% with cherry salmon, rainbow trout, zebrafish and grass carp, respectively. compared to common carp and goldfish, evolutionary analysis showed that gen ... | 2009 | 19233187 |
