| Research Abstract |
Attempts were made to clone the genes coding globin proteins (especially myoglobin) from a variety of fish species, and based on the deduced amino acid sequences and bioinformatic analyses, the profiles of molecular evolution and environment adaptation were examined. Distribution of globins was investigated by measuring the transcription and expression levels of globin genes in various tissues of several fish species. The properties and tissue distribution of mammalian globins were also examined. On the other hand, the physiological roles of myoglobin other than oxygen molecule binding were also found.
