Molecular Cloning, Characterization, and Expression Analysis of the CXCR4 Gene from Turbot: Scophthalmus maximus

Figure 1

Alignment of deduced amino-acid sequences of turbot CXCR4 with others via ClustalX 1.8. Receptor designations: Sm—S. maximus, Ol—O. latipes, Dr—Danio rerio, Cc—Cyprinus carpio, Ar—Acipenser ruthenus, Gg—Gallus gallus, Rn—R. norvegicus, Mm—Mus musculus, Hs—Homo sapiens. Symbols: *, identical residues in all sequences; :, conserved substitutions; ., semiconserved substitutions; -, gaps introduced during the alignment process. Seven transmembrane domains of CXCR4 are marked.
