Outline of Final Research Achievements

Relaxin is known as a hormone that has roles to help pregnancy and childbirth. The existence of relaxin gene has been confirmed in all vertebrates including fish. However, the functions of relaxin other than mammals are not well understood. Therefore, the function of relaxin was analyzed and the physiological significance of relaxin of teleosts was examined upon the perspective of comparative endocrinology and evolution. The sites of expression of the relaxin genes in the brain of stickleback were histologically analyzed. In order to clarify the regulatory mechanism of relaxin expression in the brain, expression mechanism of relaxin gene was analyzed by quantitative trait locus method.
