nomenclature changes

13 JULY 2023 Xenopus gene symbol was updated from LOC108648303 tostk38l2

Xenopus gene named was updated from uncharacterized LOC108648303 to serine/threonine kinase 38 like 2

This name update is supported by a DIOPT/EggNog analsysis of the protein for this gene, which matched the stk38 and stk38l gene family of >1700 prteins from 468 species with high confidence.

orthology

note that true orthologs of human STK38 are found on chromosome 2, and additional stk38l genes are on chromosome 3/3L/3S (XB-GENEPAGE-5881026), while this 2nd Xenopus tropcialis stk38-like gene is on chromosome 8.
