Abstract	An amphioxus cDNA, encoding phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (AmphiPCTP), was identified for the first time from the gut cDNA library of Branchiostoma belcheri. It contains a 660-bp open reading frame corresponding to a deduced protein of 219 amino acids. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that AmphiPCTP clustered with PCTP subgroup of PCTP subfamily containing steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)-related lipid transfer (START) domains. AmphiPCTP had an exon-intron organization similar to that of human and rat PCTP genes in terms of both exon number and sequence homology of each exon, suggesting that PCTP has probably maintained a similar function in both amphioxus and mammalian species. Both in situ hybridization histochemistry and whole-mount in situ hybridization revealed a tissue-specific expression pattern of AmphiPCTP with the high levels in the hepatic caecum and primitive gut, including the region where the hepatic caecum will form later during development. This apparently agrees with the hypothesis that amphioxus hepatic caecum is equivalent to vertebrate liver. These results suggest a conserved role of PCTPs in amphioxus as well as mammalian species.
