All values are means ±SD. a is significantly different from the wild type (bold), b is significantly different from fkd1 (mutant combinations with fkd1 that are statistically different from fkd1 are underlined), c is significantly different from single mutants, d is different from double mutants, and e is different from the triple mutant. * represents a significant difference from one of the tested double mutants, but not all.
