Protein phosphatase X has been highly conserved during mammalian evolution. 1992

Department of Biochemistry, University, Dundee, UK.

Complementary DNA encoding human protein phosphatase X (PPX, also designated PPP4 in the human genome nomenclature) was isolated from a teratocarcinoma library. The deduced amino acid sequence of human PPX differs from that of rabbit PPX in only two in 307 amino acids, demonstrating that the structure of PPX has been highly conserved during the course of mammalian evolution.

D004247	DNA	A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005810	Multigene Family	A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.
