Characterization of human gene encoding SLA/LP autoantigen and its conserved homologs in mouse, fish, fly, and worm

Figure 2 SLA/LP splice variants in man and mouse. The amino acid sequences of the long and short SLA/LP splice variants in humans and their putative homologs in mouse are aligned. The protein variants differ only in their amino-terminal sequence, 11 or 30 residues in the human protein and 12 or 30 residues in the murine protein, as depicted in the upper panel. The other residues (lower panel) are identical in the respective splice variants within each species.
