Proteomics aims to understand gene function and molecular processes of the living cell through a large-scale study of the expressed proteins. Although proteomics approach is largely applied on experimental models such as rodents, other animal models such as medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) also attracts considerable interest in proteomics field. Medaka is one of the most studied animal model in reproductive or developmental biology. Although, its genome has been sequenced, only a few proteins are available in the databases
