Xenopus tropicalis gene symbol changed from adrb1l to adrb1.

Xenopus tropicalis gene name changed from adrenoceptor beta 1 like to adrenoceptor beta 1.

These changes are supported by synteny, and follow NCBI and Xenbase orthology predictions.

True ADRB1 orthologs in Xenopus are on Chromosome 7/7L7S.

The protein this gene encodes is annoated as a adrenergic receptor beta 4c type in X.laevis and is poorl;y characterisedin X. trop The Chr 3 gene in Xtrop (GeneDI:100487086 on XB-GENEPAGE-29098406) was referred to as adrb1- 'like' gene, but sysnteny shows it is is a paralog of the X.laevis.L gene.

We've put them on the same XB gene page and provisionally called them adrb4cl/ adrb4c-like.
