Complete mitochondrial genome of the spotted scatScatophagus argus(Teleostei, Scatophagidae)

Mitochondrial DNA, 2013
The complete mitochondrial sequence of the spotted scat Scatophagus argus has been determined using long amplification polymerase chain reaction (LA-PCR). The total length of sequence is 16,778 bp, and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 control region.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the spotted scatScatophagus argus(Perciformes: Scatophagidae)

Mitochondrial DNA, 2013
The spotted scat, Scatophagus argus (Perciformes, Scatophagidae), is a recreational and commercial fish in China. In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. argus was firstly determined. It is 16,783 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region.

Phoenixin participated in regulation of food intake and growth in spotted scat, Scatophagus argus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018
Phoenixin (Pnx) is an endogenous peptide known to be involved in reproduction and food intake in rats, with two active isoforms, phoenixin-14 (Pnx-14) and phoenixin-20 (Pnx-20). However, little is known about the functions of Pnx in teleost. Here, pnx was cloned and was detected in all tissues of both male and female in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus),

First account of a transient intersex in spotted scat, Scatophagus argus: a marine gonochoristic fish

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2022
This study presents the first incidence of intersex associated with testis-ova in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) reared in a controlled environment. The testis-ova is associated with the abnormal occurrence of primary oocytes (POs) in some male testis and is referred to as ectopic primary oocytes (Ecto-PO), whiles individuals with Ecto-PO are called "

Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of spexin in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2018
Spexin (Spx), a novel neuropeptide, composed of 14 amino acid residues, is evolutionally conserved from fish to mammals. It has been suggested that Spx has pleiotropic functions in mammals. However, reports about Spx are very limited. To clarify the roles of Spx in the regulation of reproduction and food-intake in the spotted scat, the spx (ssspx) gene

Renal Lysosomal Functions on Exposure toScatophagus argusVenom in Experimental Mice

Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods, 2007
ABSTRACT Scatophagus argus venom was extracted by homogenization and centrifugation. The lysosome-enriched fraction of mice kidney was isolated by differential centrifugation. To study the effect of S. argus venom on lysosomal membrane stability, acid phosphatase and cathepsin D, the two marker enzymes for lysosome, were assayed. In the renal lysosomal

Sequence identification and expression characterization of leptin in the spotted scat, Scatophagus argus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Scatophagus argus is an important marine culture fish in South and South-East Asia, including Southeast coastal areas of China. Artificial propagation technology for S. argus is not optimum; thus further studies on its reproduction biology are required.

Metallothionein biosynthesis as a detoxification mechanism in mercury exposure in fish, spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2010
It is of crucial importance to study on the biomarkers types to assess the specification of the pollutants and health status of marine ecosystems in environmental evaluation projects. In this respect, total metallothionein biosynthesis and mercury bioaccumulation in the liver and gills under acute mercury exposure were investigated in fish, Scat ...

Characterization and gonadal expression of FOXL2 relative to Cyp19a genes in spotted scat Scatophagus argus

Gene, 2015
In the present study, we cloned the full-length cDNAs of FOXL2, Cyp19a1a and Cyp19a1b and analyzed their expression patterns during gonadal development in spotted scat, Scatophagus argus. All three genes were expressed in ovaries and testes but showed sexual dimorphism.
