Figure 2

Variations in three salt taste receptor genes. Variations in all completely and partially (80%) conserved residues are shown with respect to rat (Rattus norvegicus) homologous sequence. Light green bar indicates completely conserved sites, and light purple bar indicates 80% or greater conserved sites. Black words below indicate conserved residues in rat ENaCα, β and γ, respectively, if the residues are the same in the three genes, we use only one symbol. Numbers indicate the location of residues in rat ENaCα. Residues in red indicate variations in ENaCα, while residues in dark purple indicate variations in ENaCα. Bracket denotes selective sites, and arrow denotes amiloride binding site.
