Molecular cloning and sequence of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) alpha-skeletal actin: tissue and developmental expression, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology B-Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, 130, 1, 13-21, 2001.1095-6433AUT: ACA00258;http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/3951In the present study, the Sparus aurata -skeletal actin was cloned from a mixed larvae complementary DNA library. The clone isolated was 1523 bp long with an open reading frame of 1134 bp coding for a 377-amino acid protein. The deduced amino acid sequence of sea bream -actin is identical to Fugu -actin-1. The expression of -actin was initiated at the onset of segmentation. In adult fish, -actin is expressed predominantly in white and red muscle.engTeleostSkeletal muscleActin cDNAGilthead sea bream ŽSparus auratajournal article2014-05-13
