¹From the N terminus.

²About 180 bp in the 5′-site of CDS of porcine Sepn1 was not available, which in turn resulted in the absence of ∼60 amino acids in the N terminus of the protein sequence. The missing counterpart in the CDS or peptide of human Sepn1 was not compared for the identity analysis.

³Positions of the 14 Sec in the Sepp1 peptide were at the 59, 267, 286, 309, 311, 327, 339, 352, 354, 361, 376, 378, 385, and 387 residuals.
