Ghrelin O-Acyl Transferase: Bridging Ghrelin and Energy Homeostasis

Figure 1

Alignment of amino acid sequences in the highly conserved catalytic regions of GOAT. The online sequence analysis tool available at the following link was used to generate the figure: http://www.protocol-online.org/tools/sms2/color_align_prop.html. The proposed catalytic residues (asparagine and histidine) of GOAT are marked by asterisks. Partial sequences of GOAT were obtained from full-length amino acid sequences obtained from the GenBank. Accession numbers of sequences are human (NP_001094386.1), pig (NP_001177352.1), cow (NP_001179186.1), dog (NP_001188260.1), rat (NP_001100787.2), mouse (NP_001119786.1), chicken (NP_001186218.1), and zebrafish (NP_001116416.1).
