Summary: | The hormone-sensitive lipase (
HSL
) gene plays an important role in mammals’ lipid metabolism. Therefore, its function in fish is capturing increasing attention. In this study, two distinct cDNAs, designated
HSL
1 and
HSL
2, are firstly identified from common carp
Cyprinus carpio
. The full-length cDNA of
HSL
1 and
HSL
2 consists of 3379 bp and 2732 bp, encoding polypeptide of 693 and 847 amino acids, respectively, and shares 60.6% amino acid identity. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that
HSL
1 and
HSL
2 are derived from paralogous genes, which might have arisen during a teleost-specific genome duplication event. The two
HSL
mRNAs are differentially expressed, both in terms of distribution among tissues and in terms of abundance during embryogenesis. Moreover, both
HSL
mRNAs are expressed in various tissues, the highest in abdominal fat. Meanwhile, the two
HSL
s are detected at all stages of embryonic development, suggesting that they could be functional and involved in embryogenesis. In addition, the results show that the mRNA expression level of
HSL
2 in the high group of intramuscular fat content is significantly higher than that in the low group (
