Molecular identification of genes involved in testicular steroid synthesis and characterization of the responses to hormones stimulation in testis of Japanese sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicas)

- Full length cDNA of StAR, AMH, FTZ-F1a and FTZ-F1b from Japanese sea bass.
- Links between StAR, AMH, FTZ-F1 and serum concentration of testosterone.
- These genes are all detected under hCG and GnRH control.
- Indicate the important roles of StAR, AMH, FTZ-F1 during steroidogenesis.
