Multiple forms of alpha2-macroglobulin from a bony fish, the common carp (Cyprinus carpio): striking sequence diversity in functional sites.

Immunogenetics - 1 Aug 2000

Mutsuro J, Nakao M, Fujiki K, Yano T

Abstract excerpt

Unlike mammals, bony fish possess multiple genes encoding the complement component C3, a member of the alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2M) protein family, presumably expanding the diversity of immune recognition. To examine whether the alpha2M gene has also duplicated and diverged in the bony fish lineage, cDNA cloning of alpha2M from a pseudotetraploid teleost, the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), was conducted and...
