“…As Pacific abalone aquaculture completely depends on hatchery-produced seeds [ 20 ], the quality of the seed is a vital issue for Pacific abalone aquaculture production from. Embryonic and larval development are essential processes that can affect the quality of seed and growth status as well as determine aquaculture economic performance [ 21 ]. The molecular mechanism of an organism’s development is critical and is directly or indirectly regulated by different genes, including different growth factors.…”

Growth factors are mostly secreted proteins that play key roles in an organism’s biophysical processes through binding to specific receptors on the cell surface. The mollusk-like growth factor (MLGF) is a novel cell signaling protein in the adenosine deaminase-related growth factor (ADGF) subfamily. In this study, the MLGF gene was cloned and characterized from the digestive gland tissue of Pacific abalone and designated as Hdh-MLGF. The transcribed full-length sequence of Hdh-MLGF was 1829 bp long with a 1566 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 521 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence contained a putative signal peptide and two conserved adenosine deaminase domains responsible for regulating molecular function. Fluorescence in situ hybridization localized Hdh-MLGF in the submucosa layer of digestive tubules in the digestive gland. The mRNA expression analysis indicated that Hdh-MLGF expression was restricted to the digestive gland in the adult Pacific abalone. However, Hdh-MLGF mRNA expressions were observed in all stages of embryonic and larval development, suggesting Hdh-MLGF might be involved in the Pacific abalone embryonic and larval development. This is the first study describing Hdh-MLGF and its involvement in the Pacific abalone embryonic and larval development.
