| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to investigate the physiological function of RAMP whose expression is enhanced in skeletal muscles after injury. To elucidate the function of RAMP, I conducted a yeast two-hybrid screen to identify its interacting partners and isolated 7 clones. Furthermore, to elucidate the physiological function of RAMP in regenerating muscle, I started to produce the mice conditionally inactivated RAMP in skeletal muscle.
