Figure 3From: The patatin-like lipase family in Gallus gallusPhylogram of the chicken PNPLA family. The phylogram was calculated with ClustalW2 using the chicken patatin domain amino acid sequences. The result shows that PNPLAs 1–4 form a subfamily. PNPLA6 and PNPLA7 also form a subfamily, as do PNPLA8 and PNPLA9. The patatin domains of PNPLA2 and PNPLA3 are 68% identical, of PNPLA1 and PNPLA2 51%, of PNPLA1 and PNPLA3 55%, of PNPLA1 and 4 35%, of PNPLA2 and PNPLA4 37%, of PNPLA3 and PNPLA4 40%, of PNPLA8 and PNPLA9 31%, and of PNPLA6 and PNPLA7 76%. Plant patatin was used as an out-group.Back to article page
