The full-length cDNAs of food intake regulation factors,including mechanistic target of rapamycin(mTOR),ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-1(S6 K1),neuropeptide Y(NPY)precursor and preproghrelin were cloned from Japanese seabass(Lateolabrax japonicus)using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and rapid amplification of cDNA end(RACE)methods.The results showed as follows:the full-length mTOR cDNA of Japanese seabass(GenBank accession No.KJ746670)was 8 296 bp,consisting of an open reading fram...
