Résumé
Functional melanocortin receptor (MCR) genes have been identified in the genomes of early chordates, e.g., the cyclostomata. Whether they appear in the most ancient chordates such as cephalochordate and urochordata, however, remains unclear due to missing genetic data. Herein, we studied five putative (from NCBI database), sequence-based predicted MCR-like receptors from urochordata and cephalochordate, including
