Comparative Proteomics of the <i>Acanthopagrus schlegelii</i> Gonad in Different Sex Reversal
Published 2022-01-01“…In total, 4692 proteins were identified, including common sex-specific proteins, such as sperm-associated antigen 6 and cilia- and flagella-associated proteins in males, and zona pellucida sperm-binding proteins in females. Furthermore, proteins involved in the integrin signaling pathway, inflammation mediated by the chemokine and cytokine signaling pathways, pyruvate metabolism, CCKR signaling map, de novo purine biosynthesis and the ubiquitin proteasome pathway were upregulated in female gonads, whereas proteins implicated in DNA replication, the heterotrimeric G-protein signaling pathway, Gi alpha- and Gs alpha-mediated pathways, wnt signaling pathway, and hedgehog signaling pathway were upregulated in male gonads. …”
