Fig. 1.

Nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone isolated from a P. chilotes library. UTR sequences are displayed without gaps, whereas the coding sequence is divided into codons and is translated into amino acid residues using the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry single-letter code. The transmembrane region (TMR) is highlighted, and the beginning of the CRD is indicated by an arrow. (Here we place the beginning of the CRD to coincide with the beginning of exon 5; some authors place it at Trp-120.) Exon–intron borders are marked by inverted filled triangles. The putative polyadenylation signal is underlined.
