Figure 3

Comparison of amino acid sequences of bPRP-VIII and -IX with other members of bPRPs and bPLs. Residue present in both bPRP-VIII and -IX is shown in black boxes. Residue present in only bPRP-VIII is designated in red boxes. Residue present in only bPRP-IX is designated in green boxes. Amino acid sequences were aligned with assistance from Clustal W 1.83 on the DDBJ web site. The arrow indicates the putative primary cleavage site of the signal peptide of bPRP-VII. LD1, 2, 3, and 4 refer to the conserved domain in the prolactin family.
