Figure 5
A- Sequence of human SHBG exon 1N and species alignment. Shown is an alignment between the full human SHBG exon 1N sequence and homologous sequences from mouse, rat, rabbit and dog obtained from Genbank. The putative human ATG start codon is in bold and underlined. The TGA stop codon is in bold and italics. Conserved nucleotides between species are capitalized, differences are in lower case letters. The human exon 1N open reading frame is predicted to be only 3 amino acids long. B- Sequence of rat SHBG exon 1A and species alignment. Shown is an alignment between the rat SHBG exon 1A sequence and homologous human and mouse sequences obtained from Genbank. The putative rat ATG start codon is in bold and underlined. Conserved nucleotides between species are capitalized, differences are in lower case letters.
