Fig 2. Protein classes identified by mass spectrometry.

Proteins identified by Mass Spectrometry were examined using Panther (Protein Analysis through Evolutionary Relationship, Version 13.1). A total of 137 proteins was recognised and divided into eighteen classes: calcium binding protein, cell adhesion molecule, chaperone, cytoskeletal protein, enzyme modulator, hydrolase, isomerase, ligase, lyase, membrane traffic protein, nucleic acid binding, oxidoreductase, receptor, signaling molecule, transcription factor, transfer/carrier protein, transferase, transporter.
