Molecular Characterization of Retinoic Acid Receptor CgRAR in Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas)
Retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathways mediated by RA receptors (RARs) are essential for many physiological processes such as organ development, regeneration, and differentiation in animals. Recent studies reveal that RARs identified in several mollusks, including Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas , h...
