title: Rainbow trout SOX9: cDNA cloning, gene structure and expression.
abstract: We have isolated and characterized rainbow trout SOX9 cDNA and genomic clones. The cDNA encodes a protein of 488 amino acids (aa) with an HMG box and has 70% aa sequence identity with human SOX9. The rainbow trout and human SOX9 genes show a similar gene structure, and the two introns in the coding region are located at conserved positions. In rainbow trout, the SOX9 mRNA was prominent in testis and brain.
