Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP)-like and bombesin (BOM)-like immunoreactivities were localized in the exocrine sacciform gland cells and in the surface epidermis of the clingfish Lepadogaster candollei with the use of previously characterized antibodies. The GRP-like and BOM-like peptides show resemblance to those immunohistochemically found in the dermal secretory products of the amphibian skin. The immunoreactive peptides tested in this study are unusual bioactive components of secretory sources of exocrine glands since these peptides were first demonstrated in cells of the neuroendocrine system. The results suggest that such bioactive compounds may exert regulatory activity in the absorptive processes of the skin epithelium and in influencing secretion release from exocrine complexes.
