Degree of sequence conservation between ALOX15 orthologs of higher primates

Species	Amino acid identity, %	Amino acid exchanges
H. sapiens	100	0
H. neanderthalensis	99.7	2
H. denisovan	99.5	3
P. paniscus	99.7	2
P. troglodytes	99.7	2
P. abelii	98.6	8
P. pygmaeus	98.6	8
N. leucogenys	96.8	21
M. mulatta	94.6	35
P. anubis	95.0	35

The amino acid sequences of P. paniscus and P. troglodytes among Pan and of P. abelii and P. pygmaeus among Pongo are identical.
