Conservation of NH₂-terminus of Cx50. Evolutionary conservation of the NH₂-terminal portion of Cx50 indicates that leucine in position 7 is invariably (100%) conserved across vertebrates (identity/similarity shading using the BLOSUM62 matrix). The sequences are as follows: *Dca* – sequence from the microphthalmic rat (SHR-*Dca/Dca*); wt_rat (*Rattus norvegicus*) – NP_703195.1; mouse (*Mus musculus*) – NP_032149.1; hum (human, *Homo sapiens*) – NP_005258.2; gal (chicken, *Gallus gallus*) – NP_990328.1; and danio (zebrafish, *Danio rerio*) – XP_685033.1.
