Figure 2. The Tshr gene and predicted protein for the
common vole. (A) The Tshr gene for the common vole consisting of
8 introns and 9 exons. (B) The magnified region, including the last part
of intron 8 and the first part of exon 9, have been sequenced in this
study. (C) The predicted TSHR protein and (D) its 3D-structure. All
mutations found in the current study are labeled and listed in Table
S4-S7. SP = signal peptide, LRR = Leucine-rich repeats, TMD =
transmembrane domain, ICD = intra cellular domain, ECD = extra cellular
domain, CDS = coding sequence.
