Larger Image Fig. 3. Amino acid sequence alignment of AMBNs from human, cattle, pig, rat, mouse, caiman and toad specimens. Amino acid residues are given in the IUPAC-IUB single-letter code. Numbering shows residue positions. Identity with the simple majority consensus sequence at the top is indicated by a dash (–) and deletions introduced for optimal alignment by asterisks (*). Potential phosphorylation residues (PK C, protein kinase C; TK, tyrosine kinase; CK 2, casein kinase II) are indicated by arrowheads. Vertical lines indicate exon borders of the human, caiman and toad AMBN genes. Parts completely identical in tetrapods are indicated by shaded boxes. Image published in: Shintani S et al.
