The Expression of <i>Shmt</i> Genes in Amphioxus Suggests a Role in Tissue Proliferation Rather than in Neurotransmission

Serine hydroxymethyltransferases (SHMTs) are key enzymes in one-carbon metabolism, with vertebrates possessing two paralogs, cytosolic SHMT1 and mitochondrial SHMT2, implicated in nucleotide biosynthesis and glycine metabolism. In this study, we investigate the evolutionary history of animal <i&g...
