title: Expression of the myc proto-oncogene in the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss.
abstract: 1. The myc proto-oncogene is shown to be expressed in the pituitary gland, brain and heart of the rainbow trout. 2. Based on transcript sizes the pituitary gland expressed B-myc and L-myc, the brain expresses L-myc and the heart expresses either C-myc or L-myc. 3. Pituitary B-myc is expressed at a level 3-fold greater than liver C-myc and 8-fold greater than the heart transcript. 4. The amounts of the pituitary B-myc and heart transcript nearly double as the fish approach sexual maturity.
