Lytechinus pictus SPEC-resembling protein (LPS)
entry list
alignment
Lytechinus pictus SPEC-resembling protein (LPS) evolved by a recent
gene duplication and fusion from a four domain precursor, possibly
common to the precursor of SPEC. The distribution of introns in the
two halves of LPS is similar to one another and to that in SPEC.
Further, interdomains 2,3 and 6,7 of LPS are similar to interdomain 2,3
of SPEC [51]. The function of LPS is not known.
