| Research Abstract |
Animals living outside the tropical region perform seasonalreproduction in accordance with changes in the photoperiod. Recent studies have demonstrated that pars tuberalis(located at the base of the anterior pituitary gland) plays an important role in photoperiodic time measurement. However, endocrine functions of the pars tuberalis have not been completely elucidated. To evaluate the potential role of the pars tuberalis in endocrine function, we observed the function of the Eyes absent 3(EYA3) since EYA3 mRNA expression was previously observed in the pars tuberalis in a time-dependent manner. The function of EYA3 in the pars tuberalis may not only be coactivation of transcription but also contribution to several other functions.
