MYP is stored in ovarian and testicular nutritive phagocytes prior to gametogenesis and is used during gametogenesis as material for synthesizing proteins and other components necessary for eggs and sperm. To reveal the expression profile and the main production site of MYP, we analyzed MYP mRNA expression in immature and maturing <jats:italic>Pseudocentrotus depressus<\/jats:italic>. Real\u2010time reverse\u2010transcribed polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that MYP mRNA was expressed predominantly in the digestive tract (stomach, intestine and rectum) and the gonad of both sexes. The total amounts of MYP mRNA in the whole digestive tract and in the whole gonad were at similar levels in both immature and maturing sea urchins. MYP mRNA was also detected in white morula cells and vibratile cells separated from the coelomic fluid by density gradient centrifugation, but the expression levels in these cells were very low compared with those in the digestive tract and the gonad. Using in situ hybridization analysis, MYP mRNA was detected in the inner epithelium of the digestive tract and in nutritive phagocytes of the ovary and testis, but was not detected in the germ cells. We conclude that the adult sea urchin has two predominant production sites for MYP regardless of sex and reproductive stage: the inner epithelium of the digestive tract and the nutritive phagocytes of the gonad.
