Conserved expression of vertebrate microvillar gene homologs in choanocytes of freshwater sponges

Abstract Background The microvillus is a versatile organelle that serves important functions in disparate animal cell types. However, from a molecular perspective, the microvillus has been well studied in only a few, predominantly vertebrate, contexts. Little is known about how differences in microv...
