Molecular cloning of the three gonadotropin subunits and early expression of FSHβ during sex differentiation in the nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry volume 28, pages 143–144 (2003)Cite this article

Abstract

Gonadotropin (GTH)α, FSHβ and LHβ cDNAs were cloned from the Nile tilapia. Northern blot analysis detected a single band for each subunit. Preliminary studies indicate that FSHβ is expressed as early as 0 days after hatching (dah) in the fish pituitaries.
