Eight adult African Clawed Toads,
Xenopus laevis Daudin (body weights: 18.9-78.8 g; snout-vent lengths: 60-90 mm) were studied.
Xldax, an inhibitor of the canonical Wnt pathway, is required for anterior neural structure formation in
Xenopus. Dev Dyn 2004;230(l):79-90.
Cloning and characterization of the immunophilin X-CypA in
Xenopus laevis.
Many previous reports show that various agents regulate ligand gated-ion channels expressed in
Xenopus oocytes [32, 33].
The vacuolar membrane protein gamma-TIP creates water specific channels in
Xenopus oocytes.
Hydrin 1 (vasotocinyl-Gly-Lys-Arg) and hydrin 1' (vasotocinyl-Gly-Lys) are synthesized in
Xenopus laevis Daudin, 1802, whereas hydrin 2 (vasotocinyl-Gly) is produced in Ranidae and Bufonidae (Rouille et al., 1989; Iwamuro et al., 1993) (Fig.
High expression of the PPAR[delta] in thyroid and lung also corresponds to a previous expression study in
xenopus (Krey et al., 1993).
carolinensis and
Xenopus laevis as both species develop into microphagous filter-feeding tadpoles with similar jaw muscle architectures (Ziermann and Diogo, 2014; Vera-Candioti, 2007).
Xenopus reproductive activity is usually linked to the rainy season and food resources, but under favorable conditions, females and males show sexual characters all year (Lobos and Measey, 2002; Dodd, 2013).
2 shows schematic representation of the stages of
Xenopus laevis development about the control and metal oxides treated eggs.
However, the fact that MCM proteins are essential in vertebrate DNA replication was confirmed by the studies in
Xenopus, where MCM depleted egg extracts were unable to support further DNA synthesis [16,17].
The early axon scaffold has been well described in non-jawed vertebrates such as lamprey [2] and jawed, bony vertebrates such as zebrafish,
Xenopus, chick, and mouse [1, 3-5].
