| Research Abstract |
Cycteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSD) genes are isolated from red sea bream and yellowtail. Expression analysis was also conducted in bastard halibut, red sea bream, seabass, and yellowtail. Total length of CSD was successfully isolated from red sea bream and yellowtail and deduced amino acid seqeuences from both species showed88.8 % homology and closely associated to CSD from Nile tilapia and platy, etc. Expressionof CSD was commonly observed in liver and pyloric caecae from different species.
