Based on real-time RT-PCR, analysis of transcripts of selected ion-regulatory proteins (Na+,
K+-ATPase α1a and α1b subunit, Na+, K+, 2Cl− cotransporter, cystic fibrosis …

A partial α-amylase cDNA was isolated from red porgy (Pagrus pagrus, Teleostei: Sparidae)
and its tissue specific expression during larval development was examined. The cDNA was …

Digestion is driven by digestive enzymes and digestive enzyme gene copy number can
provide insights on the genomic underpinnings of dietary specialization. The “Adaptive …

The present study reports the molecular characterization, cloning, expression, and
biochemical characterization of α-amylase identified from the disk abalone, Haliotis discus …

Amylase has a lower activity in carnivorous fish species, particularly in Atlantic salmon. We
report the first cloning of a salmonid α-amylase cDNA from Atlantic salmon, a major species …

Amylase activity variation in the guts of several model organisms appears to be explained by
amylase gene copy number variation. We tested the hypothesis that amylase gene copy …

The medaka fish α-amylase was expressed and purified. The expression systems were
constructed using methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, and the recombinant proteins were …

Amylase is one of the most important digestive enzymes for phytophagous animals. In this
study, the cDNA, genomic DNA, and promoter region of the α-amylase gene of the pearl …

Background: Therapeutic use of corticosteroids has been implicated in a variety of serum
biochemical abnormalities in dogs; however, the effects in cats are less well characterized …
