Figure 1From: A novel form of the membrane protein CD147 that contains an extra Ig-like domain and interacts homophilicallyAmino acid sequence alignment of mouse, human and chicken CD147 and neuroplastin. The sequence of mouse and human domain 0 is in bold. The approximate predicted positions of the beta strands in the Ig-like domains, the transmembrane (TM) and the cytoplasmic regions are indicated. The glutamic acid residue in the transmembrane region is marked with an asterisk. Sequences are from GenBank; CD147 human; AF548371, mouse CD147; AY089967; Chicken X52751 and neuroplastin 65 (Np65); NM_012428.Back to article page
