Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the SA8 peptide family in sea anemones, focusing on the genomic structure and evolutionary changes in two species: Actinia tenebrosa and Telmatactis stephensoni.
- Researchers identified multiple SA8 genes and clusters in both sea anemone species, revealing tissue-specific expression patterns and a unique inverted gene associated with venom.
- Findings indicate that SA8 is a distinct gene family in Actiniarians that has evolved through structural changes, ultimately being integrated into the venom system of T. stephensoni, although its functional activity remains unclear.
