Characterization of the human SCPPPQ1 amino acid sequence. (a) Comparison of synthetic human and rat SCPPPQ1 amino acid sequences using MUSCLE. Sequence similarity is indicated as follow: (*) identical residue (single, fully conserved), (:) conserved substitutions (strong similar properties), and (.) semi-conserved substitutions (weak similar properties). (b) In silico analysis of the human SCPPPQ1 protein using the APD3 software provided information on the distribution and relative percentage of amino acids with hydrophobic properties, positive and negative charge, and other amino acids. (c) Tridimensional structure model from i-TASSER structure prediction software for human (red) and rat (pink) SCPPPQ1 proteins and their overlay. Secondary structure elements are included (H Helix, S Sheet) and labeled according to their position in the structure (H1 to H3, S1 to S3).
