Expression of alternatively spliced transcripts for a myostatin-like protein in the blackback land crab, Gecarcinus lateralis

Three complete cDNAs for the first myostatin-like gene identified in a crustacean species were cloned from the land crab, Gecarcinus lateralis. Sequence analysis demonstrates a high degree of conservation with myostatin orthologs from vertebrates. The furin cleavage site is identical to that of huma...
