Abstract

The follistatin-related protein (FRSP), a member of the follistatin domain, has structural homology and functional similarity with follistatin. The FRSP gene plays many functions by binding with cellular regulatory proteins and transforming the growth factor in the β superfamily such as myostatin and activin. The Trachinotus ovatus FRSP gene full-length cDNA consists of 1500 bp for open reading frame of 311 amino acids with 34.55 kDa molecular weight. The FRSP gene expression in Trachinotus ovatus larvae varied significantly during ontogenetic stage and in different tissues. The highest expression of FRSP gene was observed in the liver, followed by the head kidney and eye, suggesting that the FRSP gene may be included in controlling the growth and function of these tissues. This chapter discusses the FRSP gene and its expression in golden pompano during ontogenetic development and supplies useful knowledge to investigate the functional mechanism of the FRSP gene in fish ontogeny for future studies.
