Size of plakin family proteins of land-dwelling mammals and cetaceans. (A) The predicted lengths of plakin family proteins are shown for human, cattle, blue whale and bottlenose dolphin. aa amino acid residues. (B) GenBank accession numbers of the proteins that were analyzed in panel (A). For EPPK1 of the blue whale and the bottlenose dolphin, no prediction was available in GenBank. These proteins were predicted in this study by translating the region from the conserved start codon to the first in-frame stop codon, as shown in Supplementary Table S1. n.a. not applicable.
