nomenclature changes

09 JUNE 2023

This gene was renamed as it was misidentified at the Xenopus syt13 gene. It is actually orthologous to chicken gene GeneID: 423176 and is a member of the hatching enzyme/asticin-like metalloendopeptidase gene family. For now, it has a a generic LOC name LOC100496122. Further review compared to the 31 other Xenopus astacin-like metallo-endopeptidase genes by NCBI RefSeq and Xenbase will decide on a better gene symbol/name.

The true SYT13 ortholog in X. tropicalis is the adjacent gene GeneID: 100494466.
