Crustacean Female Sex Hormone From the Mud Crab Scylla paramamosain Is Highly Expressed in Prepubertal Males and Inhibits the Development of Androgenic Gland
Recently, the crustacean female sex hormone (CFSH), which is considered a female-specific hormone, has been shown to play a crucial role in female phenotypes in crustaceans. In this study, two transcripts (Sp-CFSH1 and Sp-CFSH2) encoding the same CFSH precursor were cloned from the mud crab Scylla p...
