The amphioxus (Branchiostoma floridae) genome contains a highly diversified set of G protein-coupled receptors.

BMC evolutionary biology - 16 Jan 2008

Nordström Karl J V, Fredriksson Robert, Schiöth Helgi B

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the largest families of genes in mammals. Branchiostoma floridae (amphioxus) is one of the species most closely related species to vertebrates. RESULTS: Mining and phylogenetic analysis of the amphioxus genome showed the presence of at least 664 distinct GPCRs distributed among all the main families of GPCRs; Glutamate (18), Rhodopsin (570), Adhesion...
