Based on synteny with human, it is clear that this gene was misidentified (albeir provisonally) and is actually the ortholog of GDPD4 (not GDPD5).

Xenopus gene name change from 'provisional ortholog of glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain containing 5' to 'glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain containing 4'

Xenopus gene symbol changed from XB877238 [provisional:gdpd5] to gdpd4
