nomenclature changes
01JUNE2023
To give this gene a more meaningful name, Xenbase curators assessed the synteny, protein alignment, phylogentics and orthology groups of this gene.
It seems that it IS a 2nd insulin gene, and it is NOT a tandem or partial duplicate of insulin growth factor 3. as Mouse and Rat have Ins2 genes (and this gene is NOT sytenic with them ) I have provisionally given it the same name as its protein, i.e., ins1p, insulin 1 precursor.
Apylsia uses PIN, precursor of insulin however this gene symbol is already in use in Xenopus. [cjz]
