Disease relevance of Perciformes

• Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) insulin-like growth factor-I (gsIGF-I) cDNA coding for the mature protein was cloned in a pGEM-3Z vector, and then transferred into prokaryotic expression vector pET-11a and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells upon induction with isopropyl thiogalactoside [1].

Psychiatry related information on Perciformes

• The results indicate that the two species differ in frequency selectivity since the Atlantic croaker was less susceptible to auditory threshold shifts, particularly at the higher level of masking [4].

High impact information on Perciformes

• In the present study, we provide evidence that multiple forms of functional C3 occur not only in the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), a quasi-tetraploid old teleost fish, but also in the diploid gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), a modern teleost fish [7].

• In addition, Sparus aurata, a marine teleost fish routinely grown in captivity, appears to be a good model to further analyze MGP gene expression and regulation [12].
• The current study tested the hypothesis that activation of cAMP-independent signal transduction pathways by the naturally occurring MIS, 17,20beta,21-trihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (20beta-S), is necessary for GVBD in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) oocytes [13].

• Expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II, and IGF type I receptor (IGF-1R) genes was studied in gonads at different developmental stages of the protandrous hermaphroditic species the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Northern blot analysis [18].
• Finally, preliminary evidence was obtained for the existence of a high-affinity, low-capacity androgen binding site in croaker ovarian plasma membranes [19].
