Structural characterization of the pacifastin family in the three - Triatoma species and R. prolixus. Based on InterPro annotations, transcripts of the non-redundant dataset (including singletons) were classified according to the presence of signal peptide, transmembrane regions and other InterPro domains. Absolute numbers for each type and species are shown in the matrix. Apart from the increase in gene number, particularly observed in T. pallidipennis and T. dimidiata (Table 4), we observed divergence and evolutionary innovation in secreted and membrane-bound pacifastins (red numbers). VWFC, von Willebrand Factor C domain; VWFD, von Willebrand Factor D domain. A detailed description of the pacifastin domain coding transcripts in Triatoma is found in Additional file 1
