XB-FEAT-22063310

nomenclature changes

26April2023

Xenopus gene name changed from XB22063310 [provisional] Xenopus laevis cell surface glycoprotein 1-like, to spaca5, sperm acrosome associated 5

08MARCH20205

Xenopus gene symbol changed from spaca5 to spaca5.2. Synteny support the other spaca5 gene on chr 8 as the true ortholog of the human SPACA5 gene.

10MARCH2025

There were 4 genes annotated as 'spaca5' and 'spaca5l' in the v10 Xenopus genome assemblies.

Synteny supports the 2 gene models on Chr8/8L/8S, as the true orthologs of the human SPACA5 gene.

The names of the spaca5 genes on chr10/9_10L have been changed to 'spaca5-like' genes 1 and 2.
