It plays a role in many important physiological functions of terrestrial animals. Studies on rodents have affirmed the role of melanocortin receptor 3 () in feeding behavior and energy regulation. However, the function of in fish, including basic information, is not well understood. Thus, to determine the initial value of fish and assess the role of MC3R in fish feeding behavior and energy regulation, the full-length cDNA of was cloned. The nucleotide sequence and deduced amino acid sequence were analyzed using bioinformatics methods. Blood glucose and cortisol levels were detected, and real-time quantitative PCR was employed to characterize the tissue expression profile and expression during fasting and refeeding. The results showed that cDNA encodes a protein of 327 amino acids, which shares a high amino acid sequence identity with that of other animals and is characteristic with the typical seven transmembrane domain. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the cluster was within the MC3R clade of the Cyprinidae MC3Rs. The tissue expression analysis revealed that was highly expressed in the hypothalamus, pituitary, liver, and ovary, whereas its expression was much lower in the other detected tissues. During fasting and refeeding, mRNA expression in the hypothalamus and pituitary showed a periodic variation with higher expression near the first feeding time every day both in the experimental and control groups. Furthermore, the expression of mRNA was significantly increased and was higher than that in the control group after 72 h and 14 d fasting in the hypothalamus ( < 0.05), whereas similar results occurred in the pituitary at 72 h fasting and 6 h after refeeding ( < 0.05). In addition, an obvious change in blood glucose and cortisol was only observed with long term fasting ( is not only highly conservative in genetic information, but also in its tissue expression profile and physiological function during the evolutionary process, and may play an important role in feeding behavior and energy regulation. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献
