Thus, it is possible that vertebrate members of the Ly6 superfamily could fulfil an analogous role in the formation of the paranodal junctions existing in the contact areas between axons and Schwann cells [14].
Androgens regulate male sexual characteristics, and estrogens perform an analogous function in females.
RA3 serves the purpose of converting trehalose-6-phosphate into trehalose, an analogous function to that of Tps2 in fungi.
OSBP has an analogous function to CERT but instead mediates inter-membrane sterol transfer.
It has been proposed that the Hel308 helicase, displaying homology with the metazoan PolQ/Mus308, may fulfil an function analogous to that of RecQ [ 77, 78].
The CaPLA1 homologous potato unigene LIPIII-27 (SGN-U269327) might fulfil analogous functions in heterotrophic tuber tissue, thereby indirectly influencing tuber bruising susceptibility and specific gravity.
Thus, the kinetoplastid PTPs and DSPs seem to have adopted different domain organisations and strategies to fulfil analogous functions to mammalian phosphatases.
It's the experience of one inspector on one day and they fulfil an important function in keeping things safe.
Position of the electron density in Ire1 predicts an analogous catalytic function for N1057.
However, it is too early to tell whether any of these fulfil an actual biological function.
