Cannabaceae

The GPCR superfamily is the largest gene family in the human genome containing approximately 800 genes.[1] As the vertebrate superfamily can be phylogenetically grouped into five main families the GRAFS classification system has been proposed.

GRAFS stands for Glutamate, Rhodopsin, Adhesion, Frizzled/Taste2, Secretin.[2] They correspond to classical classes C (class C, glutamate), A (rhodopsin-like), B2 (Secretin receptor family, long N-terminal), F (Frizzled/Smoothened), and B1+3 (other secretin).[3] Taste2 has more recently considered to be closer to Rhodopsin-like receptors.[4]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
