nomenclature updates
18DEC2025
Xenopus Gene Name and symbol was changed from LOC108644866, ovostatin-like to ovos5h, ovostatin 5H following phylogenetic analysis of the vertebrate ovostatin and A2M protein/gene family by Xenbase and the HGNC.
LOC108644866 is recorded as a Synonym.
OVOS protein background
Ovostatins (OVOS gene /protein family) were originally called “ovomacroglobulins”, and were first identified in the 1960's as an abundant proteins from the 'whites' of chicken eggs [1]. Ovostatins were subsequently shown to be active enzymes that inhibited the peptidases trypsin, papain and thermolysin [2].
