Localization of relaxin‐like gonad‐stimulating peptide expression in starfish reveals the gonoducts as a source for its role as a regulator of spawning

Oocyte maturation and gamete release (spawning) in starfish are triggered by relaxin‐like gonad‐stimulating peptide (RGP), a neuropeptide that was first isolated from the radial nerve cords of these animals. Hitherto, it has generally been assumed that the radial nerve cords are the source of RGP th...
