Fig. 1. Amino acid sequence alignment of mussel taurine transporter (muTAUT) with
fish and mammalian taurine transporters. Dots indicate amino acids identical
to those of muTAUT. Hyphens indicate gaps. Gray boxes indicate the 12 putative
membrane-spanning domains. Asterisks in the second extracellular domain show
the potential N-glycosylation sites of muTAUT. Accession numbers of
each sequence are as follows, carp: AB006986
