By combining the RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)-PCR methods, however, we were able to determine the full-length nucleotide sequence of medaka calcitonin. It was determined that the nucleotide sequence of medaka calcitonin was dissimilar to that of calcitonins from salmon, angler fish and puffer fish, but resembled that of surf fish or sole.}, pages = {5--8}, title = {Nucleotide sequence of cDNA of bone-mineralizing hormone calcitonin in medaka (Teleostei)}, volume = {11}, year = {2007} }
