Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We characterized and established molecular nature of 12 types of prostaglandin (PG) receptors in zebrafish. Based on the information, we surveyed possible contribution of PG receptor to developmental processes of zebrafish embryos. We finally found that particular PG receptor signals play essential roles at least in gastrulation, vasculogenesis, and so on. We are now investigating molecular mechanisms underlying PG-induced developmental processes in zebrafish, and involvement of PGs in similar processes in mammals.
