nomenclature changes

28 December 2018

This gene symbol was changed from ces5a to ces3.5. Evidence includes the Ensembl CES3 gene tree as well as partial synteny with human CES3 locus.

28JULY23

human CES5A does not have any amphibian orthologs recognized by NCBI, so CES5A (Gene ID: 221223 ) and mouse Ces5a (geneId: 67935) have been removed from the ‘’ces3.5’’ gene page. Human and mouse/rat CES3 genes have been added as the more accurate orthologs.

18SEPT

removed the synonym CES5A, as this is misleading, ie: these genes are not ortholgous as CES5A is mammal specific gene - no frog bird or or reptile genes should be called CES5A.
