Fig 8. Amino acid sequences from 1 to 70 of flatfish myostatin propeptide aligned with those of mouse and human.

The italic characters indicate signal sequence. The bold shaded amino acid residues indicate the same sequence identity within the α1 helix region among the three species. The underlined amino acid sequences indicate different sequences within the α1 helix region between mouse and human. The α1 helix domain is based on Shi et al. [46].
