Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of FADS2 from Japanese seabass and other fish.

<p>The amino acid sequences were aligned using ClustalX, and identity/similarity shading was based on the BLOSUM62 matrix and the cut off was 75%. Identical residues are shaded black and similar residues are shaded grey. The cytochrome <i>b</i>5-like domain is dot-underlined, the two transmembrane regions are dash underlined, the three histidine-rich domains are solid underlined and asterisks on the top mark the haem-binding motif, H–P–G–G.
