Origin of the SG7 family from the gene encoding the An. gambiae 30 kDa protein. The structure of the 30 kDa, gSG7, gSG7-2 and gSG7-3 genes of An. gambiae is shown. Exon and introns are represented by boxes and lines, respectively. Numbers indicates the length in base pairs. Conserved exon regions are marked in red and the portion encoding signal peptides in green. The likely scenario leading to the origin of the SG7 family as we can observe today in An. gambiae is shortly described on the right (see main text for additional details)
