Pharmacological Modulation of Melanocortin 1 Receptor Signaling by Mrap Proteins in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The melanocortin system consists of five G protein–coupled receptors (MC1R-MC5R), the bidirectional endogenous ligands (MSH and Agouti families), and accessory proteins (MRAP1 and MRAP2).

Liver-specific enhancers evolved from independent episodes of MITE domestication in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]
Mobile DNATransposable elements (TEs) occupy a significant fraction of a wide variety of eukaryotic genomes and can be domesticated into functional sequences harbouring a coding or regulatory potential.

Husbandry, General Care, and Transportation of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]
, 2018 Maintenance of optimal conditions such as water parameters, diet, and feeding is essential to a healthy Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis colony and thus to the productivity of the lab. Our prior husbandry experience as well as the rapid growth of the National Xenopus Resource has given us a unique insight into identifying and implementing these ...

Genetic screens for mutations affecting development of Xenopus tropicalis.
PLoS Genetics, 2006 We present here the results of forward and reverse genetic screens for chemically-induced mutations in Xenopus tropicalis. In our forward genetic screen, we have uncovered 77 candidate phenotypes in diverse organogenesis and differentiation processes ...

Characterization of Xenopus tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2: a role in regulating matrix metalloproteinase activity during development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Frog metamorphosis is totally dependent on thyroid hormone (T3) and mimics the postembryonic period around birth in mammals. It is an excellent model to study the molecular basis of postembryonic development in vertebrate.

Expression of transposable elements in neural tissues during Xenopus development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Transposable elements comprise a large proportion of animal genomes. Transposons can have detrimental effects on genome stability but also offer positive roles for genome evolution and gene expression regulation.
