摘要
The amino acid sequence of Fuc-TIX is very highly conserved between mouse and human. The number of nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions of the Fuc-TIX gene between human and mouse was strikingly low, and almost equivalent to that of the alpha-actin gene. This indicates that Fuc-TIX is under a strong selective pressure of preservation during evolution, The human Fuc-TIX (hFuc-TIX) showed a unique characteristics, i.e. hFuc-TIX was not activated by Mn2+ and Co2+, whereas hFuc-TIV and hFuc-TVI were activated by the cations, The hFuc-TIX transcripts were abundantly expressed in brain and stomach, and interestingly were detected in spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes, (C) 1999 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
