Table 1. Proteins in non-mammalian species with homology to human myocilin

Regions of human myocilin (NP_000252) bearing homology to the protein in other species are indicated by amino acid numbers of myocilin. Number (and percentage) of amino acids that are identical to human myocilin within the homologous segment is given. The homology search between proteins by BLASTp provides the E value ("expect" value) which is an estimation of the probability of finding the homology by chance. Hence, the lower the E value, the higher the significance of homology.
