nrf-5 is homologous to a family of mammalian lipid-binding proteins. Dendrogram of nrf-5 and related proteins. NRF-5 and its three closest relatives in C. elegans and their reciprocal-best-match orthologs in C. briggsae are compared with a variety of relatives in vertebrates. In each name, the first small letters indicate the organism (ce, C. elegans; cb, C. briggsae; hs, Homo sapiens; mus, Mus musculus; trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss; carp, Cyprinus carpio; cod, Cadus morhua), the next segment is a commonly used literature name if it exists, and the final segment is a unique database identifier (in parentheses when it follows a common name).
