Molecular characterization and expression analysis of strbp in Chinese tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis)

In this study, we have isolated and characterized the strbp gene of Chinese tongue sole, Cynoglossus semilaevis, termed as CS-strbp. The CS-strbp genomic sequence contained fifteen exons and fourteen introns. Its cDNA was 2,655 bp in length, encoding a 666-amino-acid protein with two conserved ds binding motifs. Using quantitative PCR, we found that CS-strbp mRNA exhibited sex-biased and tissue-specific distribution, predominantly expressed in the fertile male testis, though the expression levels varied throughout different developmental stages.
