Nuclear receptor complement of the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis: phylogenetic relationships and developmental expression patternsAdam M Reitzel
Department of Biology, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA
BMC Evol Biol 9:230. 2009..In addition, nuclear receptor expression and function are largely uncharacterized within cnidarians, preventing determination of conserved and novel nuclear receptor functions in the context of animal evolution...
Nuclear receptors from the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi lack a zinc-finger DNA-binding domain: lineage-specific loss or ancestral condition in the emergence of the nuclear receptor superfamily?Adam M Reitzel
Biology Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA, USA
Evodevo 2:3. 2011..In addition, to gain insight into conserved or novel functions, we examined NR expression during ctenophore development...
Altered gene expression associated with epizootic shell disease in the American lobster, Homarus americanusAnn M Tarrant

Steroid metabolism in cnidarians: insights from Nematostella vectensisAnn M Tarrant
Biology Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 45 Water Street, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA
Mol Cell Endocrinol 301:27-36. 2009..vectensis. Due to its ease of culture and available molecular tools N. vectensis is an excellent model for investigation of cnidarian steroid metabolism and gene function...
Hormonal signaling in cnidarians: do we understand the pathways well enough to know whether they are being disrupted?Ann M Tarrant
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Mailstop 32, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA
Ecotoxicology 16:5-13. 2007..Characterizing signaling and signal disruption in cnidarians may also provide unique opportunities for evaluating risk to valuable marine resources, such as coral reefs...
Estrogen receptor-related receptors in the killifish Fundulus heteroclitus: diversity, expression, and estrogen responsivenessA M Tarrant
Biology Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA
J Mol Endocrinol 37:105-20. 2006..In addition, regulation of ERRalpha expression in killifish apparently differs from regulation in mammals. Together, these features may facilitate determination of both conserved and specialized ERR gene functions...

Department of Oceanography, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, USA
Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol 136:473-85. 2003..Considered in total, these observations suggest corals could alter the concentration or form of steroids available to reef organisms...
