Evolution of human genes encoding cell surface receptors involved in the regulation of appetite: an analysis based on the phylostratigraphic age and divergence indexes

Evolution of human genes encoding cell surface receptors involved in the regulation of appetite: an analysis based on the phylostratigraphic age and divergence indexes

Genes encoding cell surface receptors make up a significant portion of the human genome (more than a thousand genes) and play an important role in gene networks. Cell surface receptors are transmembrane proteins that interact with molecules (ligands) located outside the cell. This interaction activa...
