Genome-wide identification of the NHE gene family in Coilia nasus and its response to salinity challenge and ammonia stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In aquatic environments, pH, salinity, and ammonia concentration are extremely important for aquatic animals. NHE is a two-way ion exchange carrier protein, which can transport Na⁺ into cells and exchange out H⁺, and also plays key roles in regulating intracellular pH, osmotic pressure, and ammonia concentration.

Results

In the present study, ten NHEs, the entire NHE gene family, were identified from Coilia nasus genome and systemically analyzed via phylogenetic, structural, and synteny analysis. Different expression patterns of C. nasus NHEs in multiple tissues indicated that expression profiles of NHE genes displayed tissue-specific. Expression patterns of C. nasus NHEs were related to ammonia excretion during multiple embryonic development
