WFIKKN1 and WFIKKN2 are large extracellular multidomain proteins consisting of a WAP, a
follistatin, an immunoglobulin, two Kunitz-type protease inhibitor domains, and an NTR …

Here we show that Lgl1 protein, cub‐1‐related proteins, coch‐5b2‐related proteins, coagulation
factor C of horse‐shoe crab and a predicted protein of Plasmodium falciparum share a …

WFIKKN1 and WFIKKN2 are large extracellular multidomain proteins consisting of a WAP
domain, a follistatin domain, an immunoglobulin domain, two Kunitz‐type protease inhibitor …

By using sensitive homology-search and gene-finding programs, we have found that a
genomic region from the tip of the short arm of human chromosome 16 (16p13.3) encodes a …

The LCCL domain is a recently discovered, conserved protein module named after its presence
in Limulus factor C, cochlear protein Coch-5b2 and late gestation lung protein Lgl1. The …

In most eukaryotes and prokaryotes TGA is used at a significantly higher frequency than
TAG as termination codon of protein-coding genes. Although this phenomenon has been …

Human DNA sequence variation data are useful for studying the origin, evolution, and
demographic history of modern humans and the mechanisms of maintenance of genetic variability …

We have recently identified a gene (the WFIKKN gene) on human chromosome 16 (16p13.3)
that encodes a secreted protein containing WAPtype, Follistatin/ Kazal type, Kunitztype and …

Myostatin, a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth, is produced from myostatin precursor
by multiple steps of proteolytic processing. After cleavage by a furin‐type protease, the …

The interaction of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) with gelatin is mediated by three
repeats homologous to fibronectin type II (FN2) modules, which are inserted in the catalytic …
