Phylogenetic position of Placozoa based on large subunit (LSU) and small subunit (SSU) rRNA genes
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007 The phylum Placozoa, represented by its single species Trichoplax adhaerens, has always been considered one of the most basal animal clades due to its low morphological complexity.

Identificación y revisión bibliográfica del antecesor de Eumetazoa: "Trichoplax adhaerens" [PDF]
, 2020 The phylum placozoa is a group of primitive animals with great evolutionary and pharmacological interest. It is represented by a few genus, when Trichoplax and its representative species T. adhaerens are most studied.

The origin and evolution of G protein-coupled receptor kinases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) play key role in homologous desensitization of GPCRs. GRKs phosphorylate activated receptors, promoting high affinity binding of arrestins, which precludes G protein coupling.

Early evolution of the LIM homeobox gene family
BMC Biology, 2010 Background LIM homeobox (Lhx) transcription factors are unique to the animal lineage and have patterning roles during embryonic development in flies, nematodes and vertebrates, with a conserved role in specifying neuronal identity.

Global diversity of the Placozoa.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The enigmatic animal phylum Placozoa holds a key position in the metazoan Tree of Life. A simple bauplan makes it appear to be the most basal metazoan known and genetic evidence also points to a position close to the last common metazoan ancestor ...

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 4, Page 357-369, June 2026.In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.

Identification of 526 conserved metazoan genetic innovations exposes a new role for cofactor E-like in neuronal microtubule homeostasis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 The evolution of metazoans from their choanoflagellate-like unicellular ancestor coincided with the acquisition of novel biological functions to support a multicellular lifestyle, and eventually, the unique cellular and physiological demands of ...

Beyond the Secretory Pathway: New Insights Into Protein Release
Traffic, Volume 26, Issue 10-12, October/December 2025.While proteins bearing N‐terminal signal or leader sequences are secreted via the ER‐Golgi‐plasma membrane axis of the conventional secretion pathway, many cytosolic proteins lacking signaling sequence can be secreted via poorly defined mechanisms termed Unconventional Protein Secretion (UcPS).
