Myostatin-2 isolation and spatiotemporal expression comparison between myostatin-1 and -2 in Larimichthys crocea
The 3,110-bp myostatin-2 was obtained from a marine teleost, Larimichthys crocea (L. crocea), by PCR amplication coupled with 5′- and 3′-rapid amplification of cDNA ends. Myostatin-2 contains a 71-bp 5′-untransla...
