Multiple ovarian lipoprotein receptors in teleosts

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry volume 39, pages 29–32 (2013)Cite this article

Abstract

Recent investigations have revealed multiplicity in maternal yolk precursors and their corresponding ovarian lipoprotein receptors (LRs) in diverse oviparous vertebrates, including fishes. This mini-review describes further evidence for the system of fish egg yolk formation mediated by multiple ovarian LRs, which have been obtained by studies utilizing a combination of conventional molecular and biochemical analyses, and modern proteome and transcriptome technologies. A hypothetical “multiple ovarian LR” model is proposed based on our current and previous knowledge of fish yolk formation.
