摘要

Abstract

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a crucial peptide for the regulation of reproduction. Using immunological techniques

we investigated the presence of GnRH in horseshoe crab Tachypleus tridentatus. Octopus GnRH-like immunoreactivity

tunicate GnRH-like immunoreactivity

and lamprey GnRH-I-like immunoreactivity were detected in the neurons and fibers of the protocerebrum. However

no mammal GnRH-like immunoreactivity or lamprey GnRH-III-like immunoreactivity was observed. Our results suggest that a GnRH-like factor

an ancient peptide

existed in the brain of T. tridentatus and may be involved in the reproductive endocrine system.
