We report the cloning and characterization of two melano-cortin receptors (MCRs) from the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) (Sac). Phylogenetic analysis shows that these shark receptors are orthologues of the MC3R and MC5R subtypes, sharing 65% and 70% overall amino acid identity with the human counterparts, respectively. The SacMC3R was expressed and pharmacologically characterized in HEK293cells.

C H A P T E R 5 Gnathostome Fishes The two groups of living gnathostome fishes are the Chondrichthyes or cartilaginous fishes, and the Osteichthyes or bony fishes. Both groups may have evolved in separate but parallel fashion from placoderm ancestors and are the survivors of hundreds of millions of years of evolution from more ancient forms.

Fish are aquatic vertebrates with fins for appendages. They "breathe" by means of gills. Fish make up the largest of the vertebrate groups with over 20,000 species. They can be found in a great variety of lakes, streams, oceans and estuaries. Fish are divided into two groups based on the composition of their skeletons. The sharks, skates and rays are cartilaginous fish. Their skeletons are made of cartilage, the same flexible material in your ear lobes and nose. The majority of fish have skeletons made of bone and are called bony fish....
