Fig. 1. Comparison of amino acid sequences of Pax6 genes. Predicted amino acid sequences of L. japonica Pax6 cDNA clone (LjPax6) and various Pax6 proteins of vertebrates including Oryzias (Loosli et al., 1998), Danio (Nornes et al., 1998), Xenopus (Jaworski et al., 1997), Fugu (Miles et al., 1998), Gallus (Kawakami et al., 1997), Mus (Walter and Gruss, 1991), Homo (Ton et al., 1991), and the amphioxus Branchiostoma floridae (Glardon et al., 1998), are compared. LjPax6 amino acids are shown in blue, the paired domains in yellow and the homeodomains in red. Conserved amino acids are boxed.
