Adenylyl cyclase 9: fundamental change of regulation in vertebrates and gene sub-functionalization after teleost-specific whole-genome duplication

Ferenc András Antoni, Julie Mazzolini, Heather McClafferty…·Paul Skehel

The paper examines the evolution of adenylyl cyclase 9 regulation in vertebrates, showing how teleost-specific whole-genome duplication led to sub-functionalization of adcy9 ohnologs.
