Animals and PNH Similarity

[SirTrouserz]

Well, I couldn't let Basso's twitching weiners get the last word could I ?! If you go to the zoo, you can check the animals listed here if you are looking for the familiar signs of PNH. According to : an integrated database of human genes that includes antibody studies as well as a great deat else, here are the animals discovered to be most similar to us in regards to their Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily. Orthologs from 8 species Organisism: Gene : Description: HumanSimilaritydog: KCNA11: potassium voltage-gated channel, shaker-related subfamily, member 1 (episodic ataxia with myokymia) : 96.43 98.59(a)chimpanzee:KCNA11otassium voltage-gated channel, shaker-related subfamily, member 1 (episodic ataxia with myokymia) : 99.33 99.6(a)rat: Kcna11 potassium voltage-gated channel, shaker-related subfamily, member 1 : 92.79 97.98(a)mouse: Kcna11,potassium voltage-gated channel, shaker-related subfamily, member 1, 4: 93.13 197.98(a)1chicken:KCNA11,potassium voltage-gated channel, shaker-related subfamily, member 1 (episodic ataxia with myokymia) : 83.44 92.67(a)zebrafish:: Dr.167301~Transcribed sequence with moderate similarity to protein spP16389 (H.sapiens) CIK2_HUMAN Voltage-gated potassium channel protein Kv1.2 (RBK2) (HBK5) (NGK1) (MK2) (HUKIV) : 79.91fruit fly: Sh2,: courtship behavior voltage-gated potassium channel : 74(a)African clawed frog:kcna1-A1: potassium voltage-gated channel: 82.09

Now see when I was in college I had to work with zebrafish...so maybe there was cross contamination and now see where I am.......Bad fish!

 

[beensuggested]

Oh and wait, I had to do experiments with freakin fruit flies....well now I have a definite theory!!!! Kit

Kit! You're the doctor here!! You're supposed to take these things seriously. Now everyone just has me laughing, too, at all this important and valuable data.Who do you think had the unfortunate job of establishing the courtship behavior voltage-gated potassium channel of a fruit fly?!
