Genome-wide identification, characterization, and expression analysis of the transient receptor potential gene family in mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Temperature is a crucial environmental determinant for the vitality and development of teleost fish, yet the underlying mechanisms by which they sense temperature fluctuations remain largely unexplored. Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins, renowned for their involvement in temperature sensing, have not been characterized in teleost fish, especially regarding their temperature-sensing capabilities.

Results

In this study, a genome-wide analysis was conducted, identifying a total of 28 TRP genes in the mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi. These genes were categorized into the families of TRPA, TRPC, TRPP, TRPM, TRPML, and TRPV. Despite notable variations in conserved motifs across different subfamilies, TRP family members shared common structural features, includ
