Production of recombinant orange-spotted grouper ( Epinephelus coioides ) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in single-chain form and dimer form by Pichia pastoris and their biological activities

Highlights ► Single-chain form and dimer form of grouper FSH were successfully produced by Pichia pastoris . ► Recombinant FSHs had similar functions, though dimer form of FSH functioned weaker in in vitro . ► Recombinant FSH could activate grouper FSH receptor. ► Recombinant FSH stimulated in vitro...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► Single-chain form and dimer form of grouper FSH were successfully produced by Pichia pastoris . ► Recombinant FSHs had similar functions, though dimer form of FSH functioned weaker in in vitro . ► Recombinant FSH could activate grouper FSH receptor. ► Recombinant FSH stimulated in vitro and in vivo sex steroid hormones release. ► Recombinant FSH induced early ovarian development in juvenile grouper.
