Organization and developmental expression of an amphibian vascular smooth muscle α‐actin gene
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A gene encoding a putative homologue of the avian and mammalian vascular smooth muscle alpha-actin was isolated from an amphibian, Rana catesbeiana, and characterized in terms of its sequence, organization, and expression pattern. To assess the expression of this gene during amphibian embryonic development, a cDNA encoding the Xenopus homologue of this mRNA was isolated and characterized by in situ hybridization. The expression of this gene was not detected in the enteric smooth muscle cells or, unlike its avian and mammalian homologues, in the somites/skeletal muscle of the Xenopus embryos/tadpoles. Its initial expression coincides with the onset of cardiac muscle differentiation and is coincidental with the expression of the cardiac alpha-actin mRNAs in the heart-forming region of the stage 26/27 embryo. As development proceeds, transcripts from this gene are expressed throughout the developing heart until the formation of the heart chambers is completed and, thereafter, its expression becomes restricted to the outflow tract of the tadpole heart. The subsequent restricted expression of this gene to the vascular system in both of these amphibians identifies it as the amphibian homologue of the avian and mammalian vascular smooth muscle alpha-actin.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
