This book
provides basic and advanced information
on vitellogenin in fish. The proposed
book discusses the history of
vitellogenin, previtellogenesis, their
diversification and classification in
fishes, and tools for their
identification and characterization.
Further, their functional aspects in
oogenesis and its regulatory mechanism,
role as the immunocompetent molecule,
and reproductive strategies are
discussed. The book further examines
vitellogenin as a hormone and biomarker,
its related egg yolk proteins, and its
mechanism on molecular cloning and
induction. In addition, the book
discusses its role in the disruption of
the endocrine system in fish, its
biological activities, its multivalent
mechanism in marine and freshwater
fishes, and its impact on the growth of
ornamental fishes. Moreover, this book
elaborates on the multiple vitellogenin
genes, each with unique promoter regions
and varying sensitivity to induction by
estradiol, and multiple Vtg proteins
themselves, with variable degrees of
post-translational modification. As
such, this book is helpful for
researchers and students interested in
the reproduction of fishes and
reproductive biology.
