Table 2.
Comparison of the amino acid sequence between msCRABP and b/m CRABP I and human CRABP II demonstrating that different regions of msCRABP encoded by each exon have differing degrees of identity to the two forms of vertebrate CRABP
| Protein | Identity with msCRABP,

||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exon 1 | Exon 2 | Exon 3 | Exon 4 | Overall | |
| b/m CRABP I | 61 (83) | 52 (77) | 33 (61) | 41 (59) | 47 (71) |
| Human CRABP II | 48 (74) | 50 (75) | 28 (56) | 59 (71) | 42 (69) |
