Abstract:
:A heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) cDNA was isolated from the liver of the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) and the complete cDNA sequence and predicted amino acid sequence was determined. This cDNA binds to a mRNA product of 0.95 kb with the highest level of RNA expression in the male liver, gills, and gonads. Exposure of mummichogs to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pyrene significantly down-regulated H-FABP expression at the highest concentration. This study provides evidence that environmentally relevant toxicants can modulate H-FABP expression.
