BMC Genomics, 2009 Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are members of the superfamily of Zn2+ dependent extracellular or membrane-bound endopeptidases which have been implicated to play critical roles in vertebrate development and human pathogenesis.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Sex chromosomes in amphibians exhibit substantial variability and often remain largely homomorphic, providing a powerful system for studying sex determination. The Sangzhi horned toad (Boulenophrys sangzhiensis) is an ideal model, but limited genomic resources have hindered insights into sex determination mechanisms.

The evolution, distribution and diversity of endogenous circoviral elements in vertebrate genomes [PDF]
, 2018 Circoviruses (family Circoviridae) are small, non-enveloped viruses that have short, single-stranded DNA genomes. Circovirus sequences are frequently recovered in metagenomic investigations, indicating that these viruses are widespread, yet they remain ...

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 8, Page 2248-2269, April 2026.Zebrafish Tgds, when expressed as a recombinant protein, catalyzes the dehydration of UDP‐D‐glucose, the initial step in the formation of 6‐deoxyhexoses. Corresponding Tgds mutations found in Catel–Manzke syndrome patients lead to reduced enzymatic activity and stability.

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome is essential for innate immunity against pathogens, yet its function in amphibians remains poorly understood. Here, we identified and cloned two novel isoforms of NLRP3 from the American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana), designated AcNLRP3 X1 and AcNLRP3 X2, with open reading frames of 2397 bp (798 aa) and 2874 bp (957 aa)

Techniques and probes for the study of Xenopus tropicalis development [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2002 AbstractThe frog Xenopus laevis has provided significant insights into developmental and cellular processes. However, X. laevis has an allotetraploid genome precluding its use in forward genetic analysis. Genetic analysis may be applicable to Xenopus (Silurana) tropicalis, which has a diploid genome and a shorter generation time.

Frog origins: inferences based on ancestral reconstructions of locomotor performance and anatomy [PDF]
, 2016 Frogs are the most species-rich and ecologically diverse group of amphibians and are characterized by a unique body plan including long legs, elongated ilia, and fused caudal vertebrae.

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, April 2026.Abstract The aquaporin genes (aqps) are widely distributed among vertebrates. In cartilaginous fish, aqp3 and aqp10 are duplicated, whereas many species have lost aqp8. While the solute permeability of aquaglyceroporins and Aqp8 exhibits significant diversity, systematic evaluations of their activity within species are limited.
