Abstract
Sox9 is an important member of Sox family which is involved in a variety of developmental processes including sex determination and gonadal differentiation. The cDNA of Sox9 from multiocellated racerunner E. multiocellata was cloned using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The sequence contains a 1497 bp open reading frame, which encodes a 498 amino acid protein with a predicted molecular weight of 55.45 kDa. EmSox9 displays high similarity to those of reptiles, and shows an overall amino acid identity of >82%. We also investigated the tissue-specific expression of EmSox9 mRNA by real-time quantitative PCR. Sox9 mRNA is present in brain, heart, liver, kidney, gonads and muscle tissues of adult E. multiocellata, with the highest expression in brain and testis. The results indicate that Sox9 may play important roles in some tissues during E. multiocellata neural and gonadal development.
期刊介绍：
AHR aims to provide a forum for herpetologists and related scientists interested in conducting international academic exchanges and joint studies, and a platform for introducing their newly made scientific and technological data, and publishing their research results and achievements in the world, but focusing on the Asian-Pacific Region.
The principal criteria of AHR for acceptance of articles for publication are the quality and significance of the research, breadth of interest of the work to the readership, and the clarity and effectiveness of communication. AHR welcomes submission of manuscripts from authors in all countries of the world, though with a focus on the herpetological studies in the Asian and Pacific Region, including major articles, shorter communications and review articles.
