Fig 7. Genes encoding neuroendocrine-related proteins are upregulated during metamorphosis.

Shown are the mean+SEM (n = 3/NF developmental stage) of RNA-seq count data for 12 genes: Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2 (mineralocorticoid receptor)—nr3c2; arginine vasotocin—avt*; inhibin subunit beta B—inhbb; prolactin, gene 1—prl.1; somatostatin receptor 2—sstr2; insulin like growth factor binding protein 2—igfbp2; melanocortin 4 receptor—mc4r; galanin receptor 1—galr1; gonadotropin releasing hormone 1—gnrh1; gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor 2—gnrhr2; steroidogenic acute regulatory protein—star; estrogen receptor 1—esr1. *This gene is mislabeled in the genome database as arginine vasopressin (avp) which is a mammalian gene. The amphibian gene is arginine vasotocin (avt).
