Pseudogenization of NK3 homeobox 2 (Nkx3.2) in monotremes provides insight into unique gastric anatomy and physiology
The enzymatic breakdown and regulation of food passage through the vertebrate antral stomach and pyloric sphincter (antropyloric region) is a trait conserved over 450 million years. Development of the structures involved is underpinned by a highly conserved signalling pathway involving the hedgehog,...
