Description
A Xenopus protein known as G10
[1] has been found to be highly conserved in a
wide range of eukaryotic species. The function of G10 is still unknown. G10 is
a protein of about 17 to 18 Kd (143 to 157 residues) which is hydrophilic and
whose C-terminal half is rich in cysteines and could be involved in metal-
binding. As signature patterns, we selected two of these cysteine-rich
segments.
