Comparative analysis of two thioredoxin-like genes in black rockfish Sebastes schlegelii and their possible involvement in redox homeostasis and innate immune responses
Genes involve in redox homeostasis are studied in black rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii). Transcriptional modulations of SsTXN-like 1 and SsMtTXN-like are monitored against the various immune stimulants. The free radical scavenging activities of SsTXN-like 1 and SsMtTXN-like are assessed by ESR spectroscopy. SsTXN-like 1 and SsMtTXN-like could act as potential antioxidant systems in black rockfish.
