| Abstract | Growth hormone (GH) is an important hormone with primary roles in growth, lipid metabolism, osmoregulation, and immunity in fish, via the growth hormone receptor (GHR). We have cloned cDNAs from the torafugu pufferfish Takifugu rubripes encoding two distinct GHRs. Phylogenetic analysis of these GHRs together with their counterparts from other fish led to the identification of 1914- and 1695-bp cDNAs for torafugu GHR1 and GHR2, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequences of GHR1 and GHR2 showed 34% identity and, in comparison to torafugu GHR1, torafugu GHR2 lacked three extracellular cysteine and five intracellular tyrosine residues, suggesting that the two torafugu GHRs have different functions in GH/GHR signaling. Real-time PCR revealed that the transcript abundance of torafugu GHR1 and GHR2 tended to be high in fast muscle, slow muscle, and liver. Notably, the relative mRNA level of torafugu GHR1 was significantly higher in fast muscle, in comparison to the GHR1s from other fish reported to date where the highest relative mRNA levels have been found in the liver. Taken together with the well-known lipolytic effects of GH on fish liver, these expression patterns of torafugu GHRs suggest its liver-specific lipid accumulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
