Molecular characterization of the gonadal kisspeptin system: Cloning, tissue distribution, gene expression analysis and localization in sablefish ( Anoplopoma fimbria )
Highlights • Four kisspeptin system mRNAs identified in sablefish ( Anoplopoma fimbria ). • Ovary and ovulated eggs were primary sites of kiss2 gene expression. • kiss1 and gpr54 mRNAs were generally detectable in gonad by qPCR but extremely low. • kiss2 mRNA localized to cytoplasm of oocytes in pri...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • Four kisspeptin system mRNAs identified in sablefish ( Anoplopoma fimbria ). • Ovary and ovulated eggs were primary sites of kiss2 gene expression. • kiss1 and gpr54 mRNAs were generally detectable in gonad by qPCR but extremely low. • kiss2 mRNA localized to cytoplasm of oocytes in primary growth. • Ovarian kiss2 implicated in oogenesis and/or embryogenesis, not sex differentiation. |
