Figure 1. Alignment of the elk, erg and eag deduced amino acid sequences.

Residues that are identical in two or three sequences are shown with black shading, similar residues are shown with light grey shading and non-conserved residues are shown without shading. The six hydrophobic domains (S1-6), the pore (P) and the putative cyclic nucleotide binding domain (cNBD) are overlined. All sequences are from rat: elk1 (accession number AF061957), erg1 (accession number Z96106) and eag1 (Ludwig et al. 1994; accession number Z34264).
