Table 4 Ovodefensin peptides predicted in the Komodo dragon genome

From: The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) genome and identification of innate immunity genes and clusters

Name

Closest Anole Ortholog

Closest Snake Ortholog

Sequences

Scaffold 210 Ovodefensins

This scaffold contains the cluster of six β-ovodefensin genes, one intercluster β defensin, and 15 β-defensin genes that are similar to anole lizard β-defensins. The cluster begins with the CTSB gene. These genes include large β defensins.
