From: Molecular evolution of the enzymes involved in the sphingolipid metabolism of Leishmania: selection pressure in relation to functional divergence and conservation

Figure 2

The phylogenetic tree depicting the evolutionary relationship of the three enzymes (IPCS, SPL and SPT) belonging to the sphingolipid metabolism in comparison to SMS enzyme in the host. The tree was constructed by the NJ method using MEGA5 with 10000 replicates. Bootstrap values are indicated on the branches, depicting the evolutionary relationship among the three protein families.
