Fig. 1

The open reading frame of 273 nucleotides encoding a 90 amino acid pre-propeptide, including a signal peptide (underline), a propeptide (double underline), and a mature peptide region of 26 amino acids (dotted underline). The red fond indicates the stop codon. The two filled black downward arrows indicate the signal peptidase cleavage site and the mature peptide cleavage site, respectively. The yellow highlight is the furin propeptide convertase motif, and the hypothetical iron regulatory sequence (QSHLSL) at the start of the mature peptide is green highlighted
