From: Three genes expressing Kunitz domains in the epididymis are related to genes of WFDC-type protease inhibitors and semen coagulum proteins in spite of lacking similarity between their protein products

Figure 3

Conservation of SPINT5. The mouse and human SPINT5 transcripts were aligned with the computer program ALIGN. The nucleotide sequences that correspond to exon 1-3 of mouse and human SPINT5 are shown with identities indicated by vertical bars and gapped nucleotides by dashes. The second exon is shaded, with non-aligning nucleotides in the human gene inserted below; note the CAG at the end of the insertion that might indicate splice acceptor site, and the arrow that indicates starting nucleotide of the shorter 5' RACE product. The 3' ends of mouse Spint5, human SPINT5, and alternative 3' transcript of human SPINT5 are given at the bottom of the figure with poly-adenylation signals written in bold; location of introns in the alternative SPINT5 3' end are indicated with opposing arrows.
