It is present in urochordates, cephalochordates, and larval lampreys . The thyroid gland of vertebrates is considered to be homologous to the endostyle of non-vertebrate chordates (cephalochordates, urochordates), a key character for understanding the origin and evolution of the chordate body plan. ; Sinha, R.; Okamoto, J.; Mantalas, G.; et al. ; Baker, C.V.H.

The knockout of Ciona Nkx2-1 and FoxE exerted different effects on the morphology of the developing endostyle. Multiple cell types in the endostyle have been thought to be progenitors of complex . The high similarity of the choroid and the endostyle showed potential similarity between these two organs, which is consistent with the research on the colonial ascidian endostyle [, Cell types are the basic building blocks for multicellular organisms, which are also fundamental evolution units such as genes and species [. ; Pessoa Rodrigues, C.; Duran, M.; Corbin, A.F.
