'Xenopus gene name changed from XB5952276 to cyp2k1.8 following a assessment of synteny for this region of chr5/5L/5S, which contains are cluster of ~30 cytochrome p450 genes, where Xenopus nomenclature rules were applied for duplicated genes, and new gene symbols were based on the existing NCBI gene/protein characterization in the v10 genome assemblies (ie no additional phylogenetic analysis or protein domain analysis was done to check that these designations held to be true).
