Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is an important model organism for cell and developmental biology. Lineage: Eukaryota[15557]; Metazoa[7782]; Chordata[3579]; Craniata[3544]; Vertebrata[3544]; Euteleostomi[3500]; Amphibia[113]; Batrachia[109]; Anura[52]; Pipoidea[7]; Pipidae[6]; Xenopodinae[3]; Xenopus[3]; Xenopus[2]; Xenopus laevis[1]

The tetraploid Xenopus laevis is native to Africa. X. laevis used to study vertebrate biology and early embryonic development and as a model for biomedical research. Xenopus studies have been instrumental in the elucidation of biochemical processes such as intracellular signaling, cytoskeletal assembly, and chromosome replication. More...Xenopus eggs are also commonly used in embryological studies. Less...
