Abstract

The full-length cDNA of Pgmrc1 in giant tiger shrimp is 2015bp long and encodes a polypeptide of 190 amino acids.

  • Pgmrc1 expression is greater in the ovaries of both intact and eyestalk-ablated broodstock compared to juveniles.
  • Up-regulation of Pgmrc1 occurs earlier in the ovarian development of eyestalk-ablated shrimp, starting from the vitellogenic stage.
  • In mature ovaries, Pgmrc1 expression is significantly higher in intact broodstock than in earlier stages.
  • Pgmrc1 mRNA localizes in the cytoplasm of follicular cells and various stages of oocytes.
  • Positive signals for Pgmrc1 protein are found in the follicular layers and cell membranes of follicular cells and oocytes.
