Kidney Injury Molecule-1 and Cardiovascular Diseases: From Basic Science to Clinical Practice

Figure 2

Dot matrix view of human EC Kim-1 domain and rat’s EC Kim-1 domain and Ig like V subdomain aligned in BLAST. (a) Human sequence is plotted on -axis and rats sequence is plotted on -axis. Several gaps demonstrate the existence of repeated amino acid sequences, which exist only in human ortholog of Kim-1. (b) Human sequence is plotted on -axis and rats sequence is plotted on -axis. Single gap shows the two amino acids which are present only in rat’s ortholog.
