Description

<jats:p> We investigate the voltage-sensing phosphatase (VSP) in Xenotoca eiseni, a viviparous fish whose intraovarian embryos utilize trophotaenia for nutrient absorption. Although X. eiseni VSP (Xe-VSP) shares key features with known VSPs, its distinct voltage sensitivity arises from species-specific amino acid variation. Xe-VSP in trophotaenia epithelium suggests its involvement in nutrient absorption, similar to VSP in zebrafish enterocytes and potentially in species with similar absorptive cells. Our findings highlight the potential role of VSP across species. </jats:p>
