FIG. 2.
Sequence comparison between mouse TRAPα proteins and their human, dog, and rabbit orthologs. Shaded amino acids display some differences according to the species. The signal peptide region is in italics, while the transmembrane region is boxed. Underlined sequences correspond to the immunopeptides used to produce N- and C-terminal antibodies. The point of junction between TRAPα and ShBle-β-galactosidase in the hybrid protein synthesized in TL5 is indicated by a filled inverted triangle. Mouse TRAPαg corresponds to the protein expressed in all tissues but muscles; mouse TRAPαm corresponds to the muscle-specific protein. Protein sequence accession numbers from the SwissProt database: human, P43307; dog, P16967; rabbit, PS3815.
