Functional "Thus, two scenarios could be put forward regarding the inactivation of Mogat3. First, it could reflect convergent skin-specific molecular changes, more specifically degeneration of SGs or changes in sebum lipid composition(Nikkari 1974)." 10.1093/molbev/msz068
Functional "Alternatively, Mogat3 loss could be related to dietary adaptations, especially to herbivory, as in the case of T. m. latirostris, C. s. simum and L. africana." 10.1093/molbev/msz068
Mutation Description "Notably, the presence of ORF disruptive mutations in Mogat3 in all analyzed species (fig. 3C), eleterious mutations in S. scrofa and C. s. simum Awat1 (fig. 3D) and in S. scrofa, L. africana and T. m. latirostris Awat2 (fig. 3D) and in both Dgat2l6 and Fabp9 from C. simum (fig. 3C and F)." 10.1093/molbev/msz068
