Transgenic medaka overexpressing a melanin-concentrating hormone exhibit lightened body color but no remarkable abnormality

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic heptadecapeptide that concentrates melanin granules in the melanophores and lightens the body color of a fish. To investigate the utility of MCH as a reporter gene, a transgenic medaka strain overexpressing the MCH gene was established and its phenotyp...
