The table indicates whether the amino acid at position 12 of the EF-hand Ca2+-coordinating loop is an aspartic acid (D) or glutamate (E) and the percentage sequence identity between zebrafish and human EF-hand loop sequences. In the conserved column it is also indicated if the EF hand is predicted to be non-functional (N) and these are the same in the human and zebrafish proteins.
