Figure 3From: Genomic characterization of the European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax reveals the presence of a novel uncoupling protein (UCP) gene family member in the teleost fish lineageAmino acid sequence alignment of sea bass and stickleback UCP1, UCP2, UCP3 and UCP3L. The alignment was conducted using MAFFT version 6 and illustrated with GeneDoc. The most conserved amino acids are highlighted in black. Putative transmembrane conserved domains [23, 35] are delimited with box and numbered using Roman numerals. Proton carrier signatures and the potential purine binding domain are underlined with black and blue lines, respectively.Back to article page
