Comparative genomic and phylogenetic analysis of vitellogenin and other large lipid transfer proteins in metazoans
24 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
Vitellogenins and other large lipid transfer proteins (LLTP) are well known to play significant roles in the development, metabolism and reproduction of animals. Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analyses of LLTPs using the most comprehensive dataset in metazoans to date are carried out. Our analyses demonstrate that LLTP genes arose significantly earlier, and are more widespread than previously proposed -...
