3.4 Discussion


In conclusion, D. sargus mRNA and its deduced protein have been identified. The drawn phylogenetic tree shows that the evolutionary diversification of this gene is similar to that of S. aurata. This study will be strengthened by the characterization and identification of AQP-3 in the same species; AQP-3, in which two duplicated genetic isoforms have been found in zebrafish (Danio rerio), plays a fundamental role in physiological osmoregulatory processes in different teleostean organs (Cutler et al. 2007).
