Human chromosomal sequence aligned with LCN6 mRNA and amino acid sequences. The predicted TATA box and polyA addition sites are underlined. Exons are in upper case letters, introns in lower case. The ^ indicates the predicted transcription start site. The amino acids are indicated in single letter and three letter abbreviations. The signal peptide amino acids are brown, bold and italicized. Numbers in parentheses indicate amino acids of the mature protein. The lipocalin signature amino acids are red and bold. The gene sequence was extracted from GenBank accession number AL355987. The human cDNA sequence is available at accession number AF303084 and at EST BU502206.
