nomenclature changes

04JAN2023

the name of this gene was updated from "unnamed" to Myb related transcription factor, partner of profilin 2, mypop2, following a quick analysis by Xenbase curation staff.

The protein sequence was entered into a EggNogg, a DIOPT orthology group analysis tool, and this protein was a very high scoring match to MYPOP in 71 species. True MYPOP orthologues in Xenopus are on Chromosome 8/8L/8S, whereas this gene is found on chromosome 5/5L/5S in the current genome assembly (v10). As this gene likely represents a 2nd MYPOP ortholog, we have provisionally assigned the gene symbol mypop2 as it is not currently in use elsewhere, and the gene and gene name are suffixed with 'provisional' to indictae this status.

Xenbase will consult with HGNC for gene name/symbol approval
