Molecular cloning and expression profiles of an insulin-like growth factor binding protein IGFBP5 in the pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata

The insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family participates in transportation, localization, and biological regulation of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). In the present study, IGFBP5 gene from the Pinctada fucata (PfIGFBP5) was cloned and characterized. The full-length cDNA sequen...
