Hsd3b7 regulates ovarian development and maturation via steroidogenesis and lipid metabolism in Qihe gibel carp (Carassius gibelio var. Qihe).
Steroid hormones regulate ovarian development, but hsd3b7 function in fish remains unclear. In this study, we cloned full-length hsd3b7 cDNA from Qihe gibel carp (Carassius gibelio var. Qihe) and generated a polyclonal antibody. Real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry revealed widespread hsd3b7 expres...
