Fig. 1. Sequence and partial alignment of ferritin heavy chain from L. littorea. (A) Nucleotide (upper) and deduced amino acid (lower) sequences of the cDNA encoding the C-terminal end of ferritin heavy chain from the L. littorea library. The nucleotide sequence has the GenBank accession number AY090096. (B) Alignment of the C-terminal amino acid sequence of ferritin heavy chain from L. littorea with sequences from Lymnaea (pond snail; accession number P42577), chiton (BAA21810), starfish (AAB60883), salmon (P49946), and human (P02794). Identical residues are indicated by (–); stops indicate gaps.
