Figure 2.

Amino acid sequences alignments of the human, monkey, mouse and rat UT. Deduced amino acid residues are indicated beginning with the initiation methionine. The regions identifying the positive transmembrane as domains 1 – 7 are underlined and numbered sequentially. The potential N-glycosolation site (O), the conserved cysteins (^*), and the potential palmytalation site (boxed), are indicated. The optimal alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of the mouse and monkey UT receptor were compared to the rat and human UT receptor using the Wisconsin program obtained from Devereux et al. (1984).
