| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the hematopoietic function of novel adrenomedullins in vertebrates. The AM3 gene expression was induced after hemolytic anemia in teleost fish, medaka, suggesting its role in erythropoiesis. In Xenopus tropicalis, AM5 mRNA was detected in the ventral blood island at tailbud stage embryo and was expressed in adult hematopoietic stem cells.
