## Abstract A cDNA for furin was cloned from the ovary of the medaka, __Oryzias latipes__, by a combination of cDNA library screening, 5';βrapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE), and 3'β RACE. The cDNA sequence codes for a protein of 814 amino acid residues highly homologous to other vertebrate fu

β¦ Synopsis
Carotenoids were introduced into the egg yolk of the medaka by either injection or feeding. Carotenoids for injection were dissolved in either olive oil, a mixture of olive oil and castor oil or Tween 80. Capsanthin, lutein and canthaxanthin were readily transferred from the yolk to the larval xanthophores, but no P-apo-S'-carotenal and little @carotene were transferred.
