Evolutionary and functional dynamics of a leishmanolysin-like immune multigene family during early infection in Philasterides dicentrarchi [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionThe evolutionary dynamics of multigene families are central to shaping host–parasite interactions and immune outcomes. In parasitic protists, expansion and diversification of surface-associated gene families enable immune evasion and host ...

The UDP-glucosyltransferase multigene family in
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Glucosidation plays a major role in the inactivation and excretion of a great variety of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. A class of UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) is involved in this process.

Conserved pattern-based classification of human odorant receptor multigene family [PDF]
Scientific ReportsConserved protein-coding sequences are critical for maintaining protein function across species. Odorant receptors (ORs), a large poorly understood multigene family responsible for odor detection, lack comprehensive classification methods that reflect ...

The Multigenic Sphingomyelin Synthase Family [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 Sphingomyelin (SM)3 is a vital component of cellular membranes in organisms ranging from mammals to protozoa. Its production involves the enzymatic transfer of a phosphocholine head group fromphosphatidylcholine to ceramide, yielding diacylglycerol in the process.

Antigenicity and adhesiveness of a Plasmodium vivax VIR-E protein from Brazilian isolates
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2022 BACKGROUND Plasmodium vivax, the major cause of malaria in Latin America, has a large subtelomeric multigene family called vir. In the P. vivax genome, about 20% of its sequences are vir genes.
