βAPP, β amyloid precursor protein; α1AC, antichymotrypsin; IGF-II, insulin-like growth factor-II; horm. rec., hormone receptor; CFTR, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator; and CCSP, clara cell secretory protein genes.
HFH-4 protein binding affinity is as follows: +++, high; ++, moderate; +, weak; −, none.
Homology with the HFH-2 no. 7 sequence (Table 2), which binds HFH-4 protein with high affinity.
CFTR is expressed in bronchiolar and choroid plexus epithelium. Nucleotides which deviate from the HFH-4 consensus or HFH-2 no. 7 sequence are indicated in lowercase letters.
