Outline

Bioactive humoral molecules play central roles in the regulation of homeostasis as the method for communication by cells and organs. On the other hand, cells and organs have control system for the information transmitted by the bioactive molecules. In this study, we will clarify the mechanism of homeostasis regulated by “RAMP system”, which works as the major control system for information of bioactive molecules. We will apply the research results to the drug discovery for lifestyle-related diseases.
