Cellular localization of relaxin‐like gonad‐stimulating peptide expression in Asterias rubens: New insights into neurohormonal control of spawning in starfish

Gamete maturation and spawning in starfish is triggered by a gonad‐stimulating substance (GSS), which is present in extracts of the radial nerve cords. Purification of GSS from the starfish Patiria pectinifera identified GSS as a relaxin‐like polypeptide, which is now known as relaxin‐like gonad‐sti...
