Cloning and Expression Analysis of IGF3 in Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays a key regulatory role in biological processes, such as growth, reproduction, early development, cell differentiation, and proliferation, in fish and other vertebrates.

The Expression Pattern of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Subtype 3 (igf3) in the Orange-Spotted Grouper Epinephelus coioides and Its Function on Ovary Maturation. [PDF]
A new insulin-like growth factor (Igf) subtype 3 (igf3) has recently been found in the bony fish orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). However, the role of igf3 in the maturation of the ovary and sex differentiation in E. coioides is currently unknown.

Regulation of spermatogenesis and reproductive capacity by Igf3 in tilapia [PDF]
A novel insulin-like growth factor (igf3), which is exclusively expressed in the gonads, has been widely identified in fish species. Recent studies have indicated that Igf3 regulates spermatogonia proliferation and differentiation in zebrafish; however, detailed information on the role of this Igf needs further in vivo investigation.

Characterization and expression analysis of gonad specific igf3 in the medaka ovary
The gonad specific expression of insulin-like growth factor 3 (igf3) has suggested an important role of igf3 in fish reproduction. In this study, medaka igf3 was isolated and its expression patterns were compared with igf1, and germ cell gene vasa in ...

Igf3 activates β-catenin signaling to stimulate spermatogonial differentiation in zebrafish [PDF]
Follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) is a major regulator of spermatogenesis, targeting somatic cell functions in the testes. We reported previously that zebrafish Fsh promoted the differentiation of type A undifferentiated spermatogonia (A und ) by stimulating the production of factors that ...

Antagonistic regulation of spermatogonial differentiation in zebrafish (Danio rerio) by Igf3 and Amh [PDF]
Fsh-mediated regulation of zebrafish spermatogenesis includes modulating the expression of testicular growth factors. Here, we study if and how two Sertoli cell-derived Fsh-responsive growth factors, anti-Müllerian hormone (Amh; inhibiting steroidogenesis and germ cell differentiation) and insulin-like growth factor 3 (Igf3; stimulating germ cell ...

Entry into puberty is reflected in changes in hormone production but not in testicular receptor expression in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) [PDF]
Background Puberty in male Atlantic salmon in aquaculture can start as early as after the first winter in seawater, stunts growth and entails welfare problems due to the maturation-associated loss of osmoregulation capacity in seawater.

Long noncoding RNA and mRNA expression profiles following igf3 knockdown in common carp, Cyprinus carpio. [PDF]
AbstractAs a novel IGF system member, igf3 plays an important role in gonadal development of teleost fish. Although studies have reported the unusual expression of igf3 in fish gonad, whether the igf3 affects the expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in gonad remains unknown.
