摘要:
The peptide having the following formula has a potent effect on the reproduction processes of fish and is termed Fish GnRH:pGlu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Trp-Leu-Pro-Gly-NH.sub.2.Spawning of teleostei fish can be promoted by administration of effective amounts of the peptide.
摘要:
Novel peptide hormones which influence the release of gonadotropins by the pituitary gland in fish are disclosed. Methods in which such peptides may be administered to fish to control their reproduction are also described. Furthermore, novel isolated cDNA encoding the precursor of the novel gonadotropin-releasing hormone is disclosed. The use of such cDNA in controlling the gonadal development and spawning of fish is also described.
