From: 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 lineage

Figure 3

Amino 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.
