Deleterious mutations of a claw keratin in multiple taxa of reptiles.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Mar 2011

Dalla Valle Luisa, Benato Francesca, Rossi Chiara, Alibardi Lorenzo, Tschachler Erwin, Eckhart Leopold

Abstract excerpt

We have recently shown that homologs of mammalian hair keratins are expressed in the claws of the green anole lizard, Anolis carolinensis. To test whether reptilian hair keratin homologs are functionally associated with claws, we investigated the conservation of the prototypical reptilian hair ke...
