Alignment of Dogfish AQP4 [Accession number (Ac. No.) JF944824] amino acid sequence with AQP4 sequences from Human (Homo sapiens; Ac. No. NM_001650.4; 63.0%), Rat (Rattus norvegicus; Ac. No. AF144082; 62.5%), Chicken (Gallus gallus; Ac. No. NM_001004765; 65.3%), African Clawed Toad (Xenopus laevis; Ac. No. NM_001130949.1; 56.7%), Zebrafish (Danio rerio; NM_001003749; 57.5%), and Hagfish (Eptatretus burgeri; Ac. No. AB258403.1; 38.2%). Percentages in parentheses represent amino acid homologies. Numbers indicate position within the alignment. • Symbols indicate positions with identical amino acids. | Symbols indicate positions with chemically similar amino acids. Bold underline _ indicates the position of the peptide sequences used to raise the polyclonal antibodies. Wavy underline indicates the position of amino acids sequences used to make degenerate primers for initial AQP4 OCR amplifications. Double underline indicates the positions of putative N-glycosylation sites with the dogfish AQP4 sequence.
