Abstract
AbstractCationic amino acid transporter 1 (Cat-1 alias Slc7a1) is a Na+-independent carrier system involved in transport and absorption of the cationic amino acids lysine, arginine, histidine, and ornithine and has also been shown to be indispensable in a large variety of biological processes. Starting from isolated full-length zebrafish (Danio rerio) cDNA for slc7a1a, we performed comparative and phylogenetic sequence analysis, investigated the conservation of the gene during vertebrate evolution, and defined tissue expression during zebrafish development. Whole mount in situ hybridization first detected slc7a1a transcripts in somites, eyes, and brain at 14 h post-fertilization (hpf) with additional expression in the distal nephron at 24 hpf and in branchial arches at 3 days post-fertilization (dpf), with significant increase by 5 dpf. Taken together, the expression analysis of the zebrafish Cat-1 system gene slc7a1a suggests a functional role(s) during the early development of the central nervous system, muscle, gills, and kidney.
