  • Title: Chordate metamorphosis: ancient control by iodothyronines.
    Author: Denver RJ.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2008 Jul 08; 18(13):R567-9. PubMed ID: 18606129.
    Abstract:
    A new study shows that iodothyronines induce metamorphosis in the cephalochordate amphioxus by binding to a receptor homologous to vertebrate thyroid hormone receptors. Iodothyronine-induced metamorphosis may be an ancestral feature of the chordates.
