Coordinated Regulation of Chromatophore Differentiation and Melanogenesis during the Ontogeny of Skin Pigmentation of Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858)
Figure 5
Gene expression patterns of pigmentation related genes during the larval development of Senegalese sole.
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone 1 receptor (mc1r), agouti signaling protein (asip), paired box protein Pax-3 (pax3), mast/stem cell growth factor receptor Kit, (cKit), microphtalmia-associated transcription factor (mitf), tyrosinase (tyr), tyrosinase-related protein 1 (trp1), sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 5 (slc24a5), caspase 3 (casp3), somatolactin (sl) and heat shock 70 kDa protein (hsp70) Data are represented as means of relative gene expression ± SD (N = 3). Values with a different superscript letter denote significant differences between sampling points (One-way ANOVA, P<0.05).
