This is the first report of a leptin-like peptide in a cartilaginousfish.
2
The present work shows for the first time OMP's presence in a cartilaginousfish.
3
The table cases deposited in the room with the cartilaginousfish are covered with
4
Although leptin is evolutionarily conserved, no studies have investigated its presence in cartilaginousfish.
5
With the emergence of immunoglobulins in cartilaginousfish, the classical and lytic pathways first appear.
6
No immunoreactivity was instead observed in the crypt neurons, the second type of olfactory neurons present in cartilaginousfish.
7
Gnathostomes subsequently diverged into two groups, the cartilaginousfishes and the bony vertebrates.
8
The possible presence of crypt neuron-like cells in chondrichthyes would represent an interesting common feature between bony and cartilaginousfishes.
9
We identify a novel ACSBG-like gene lineage which occurs specifically in amphibians, ray finned fishes, coelacanths and cartilaginousfishes named ACSBG3.
10
Lake sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens, are one of a few species of cartilaginousfishes that complete their life cycle entirely in freshwater.
11
"As for cartilaginousfish," Conseil went on unflappably, "they consist of only three orders."
12
Although this has been observed in other vertebrates, we are the first to show that the pattern is present in cartilaginousfishes.
13
"But tell me, are you familiar with the differences between bony fish and cartilaginousfish?"
14
"Class of cartilaginousfish, order Chondropterygia with fixed gills, suborder Selacia, family Rajiiforma, genus electric ray."
15
Overall these results suggest that the Ah receptor evolved at least 450 million years ago, prior to the divergence of bony and cartilaginousfishes.
16
Our functional studies suggest that the lack of genes encoding secreted calcium-binding phosphoproteins in cartilaginousfishes explains the absence of bone in their endoskeleton.
