Similarities in amino acid sequence between Chg H and egg envelope proteins of some other animals. (A) Similarity between Chg H and the wf♀ gene product of female liver of winter flounder. Hatched portions refer to their homologous domains. (B) Similarities between Chg H and zona pellucida proteins (ZP2) of some mammalian species. ZP 55R refers to a rabbit zona pellucida protein encoded by rc55 and reportedly homologous to winter flounder protein (29). Hatched portions refer to homologous domains. The percentage refers to the similarity between Chg H and respective proteins.
