General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function GULO is an old gene that predates the separation of Animals and Fungi. A GULO gene is present in the non-Bilateria Placozoa, Myxozoa and Anthozoa groups,and in Protostomians, in the Araneae family, the Gastropoda class, the Acari subclass, and the Priapulida, Annelida and Brachiopoda phyla lineages. Within Protostomes, GULO has been lost multiple times in large taxonomic groups, namely the Pancrustacea, Nematoda, Platyhelminthes and Bivalvia groups, a pattern similar to that reported for Vertebrate species unidentified
