Oxytocin and arginine vasopressin receptor evolution: implications for adaptive novelties in placental mammals

Show other versions (1)

Abstract Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) and arginine vasopressin receptors (AVPR1a, AVPR1b, and AVPR2) are paralogous genes that emerged through duplication events; along the evolutionary timeline, owing to speciation, numerous orthologues emerged as well. In order to elucidate the evolutionary forces tha...
